Check your "/etc/nsswitch.conf" file for a line similar to:
hosts: dns files
(or anything else before the "files" keyword). If so, put the
"files" keyword first:
hosts: files dns
You probably have a network-based authorization scheme such as
NIS, kerberos or LDAP enabled and the "/etc/nsswitch.conf"
incorrectly lists them before "files" in the host name resolution.
HTH.
