I mean to say that utilities like "host" and "dig" naturally would come 
up with other answers than nsswitch would (getent) because they don't 
depend on nsswitch.

Instead they depend exclusively (in this sense) on /etc/resolv.conf.

So you have split resolution because getent now has more capabilities 
due to the "resolve" line.
