[Bug 736149] Re: Ubuntu 10.10 /etc/hosts ignored by /lib/resolv.so.2

[Scott Moser]

The 'host' command is not reading /etc/hosts by design.
The command:
  host foo dns-server
performs a dns lookup of host 'foo' from dns-server.  If dns-server is not provided, as in:
  host foo
then, per the man page:
       server is an optional argument which is either the name or IP address
       of the name server that host should query instead of the server or
       servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf.

If you believe this is not working as designed please change the status
from 'Invalid'

** Changed in: bind9 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
