The New and Improved answer is to set an environment variable
to point to the proper host.conf.  My netscape shell script looks
like:

#!/bin/sh
export RESOLV_HOST_CONF; RESOLV_HOST_CONF=/compat/linux/etc/host.conf
export XKEYSYMDB ; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
export XNLSPATH  ; XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls
export XAPPLRESDIR ; XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
exec /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.linux.bin $*

and you've gotta put moz2_0.car in /usr/local/netscape/java/classes/
(but you already knew that from the README)

Now the biggest problem I see is that my syslog fills up with:
Linux-emul(17199): syslog() not supported (BSD sigreturn)
