Okay.. NS seems to be correct, But can I ask if you've already
configured BIND or something for the Nameservices? Or are you _only_
using /etc/hosts?

/etc/hosts may not necessary be the correct path in the sense that it
will only be used for the _local_ PC name to IP address translation.
IIRC, it should not propagate to other PCs. (if you really want, then it
those entries will have to be replicated to _all_ PCs. I may be wrong)
