Randall, what does your /etc/nsswitch.conf look like? It should have a hosts: line that mentions "files". If it doesn't your /etc/hosts won't be consulted. My stock one is:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
It is (sans comments): -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- passwd: compat group: compat hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns networks: files dns services: files protocols: files rpc: files ethers: files netmasks: files netgroup: files nis publickey: files bootparams: files automount: files nis aliases: files -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- So if I understand that correctly it seems "files" should take precedence in all host-name lookups.
