Randall,
From you resolv.conf, I take it you are on 208.201.233.0/24, you don't have a caching only dns setup so you are looking to 208.201.224.11 & 13 for name resolution?? I can't tell you why /etc/hosts isn't getting searched, but Patrick is right, the /etc/hosts entries should look something like:
# Syntax: # # IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname #
127.0.0.1 localhost
# special IPv6 addresses
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
fe00::0 ipv6-localnet
ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts 127.0.0.2 ecstasy.3111skyline.com ecstasy 192.168.6.15 ecstasy.3111skyline.com ecstasy
It also makes sense that from resolv.conf nameserver 208.201.224.11 & 13 wouldn't be of much help with internal addresses on 208.201.233.0/24 if I understand what your setup looks like??
You've got it right and my hosts file now has only a single alias. The man page for /etc/hosts makes is quite clear multiple aliases are allowed, so there wasn't any thing wrong with either of my /etc/hosts files as I had them. It still seems like they're being ignored.
