I would like to know this too. :)  For memory, OpenBSD (probably other
BSDs) includes a directive in /etc/resolv.conf to allow you to tell the
resolver to look in the /etc/hosts file before attempting to query a
nameserver - I haven't been able to find any Linux equivalent... (sorry,
I know this doesn't help. ;-)

Christian.
