Here's a quick hand-written patch to solved your problem.  Apply to
/etc/host.conf:

----
+hosts
 bind
-hosts

I understand what the RFCs say, and i understand what people are trying to
say with the advices (I have like the one just above, but I don't see how it 
fits in the reality.

Check the traceroute I pasted below - that router 10.0.232.27
is not on my internal network. (I have NO private IP addresses).
So, are you saying I need to have all 2^512  (18609625)  in my
/etc/hosts file ????

Besides
If I do "whois -h arin.net 10.0.232.27" (or 10.0.0.1)
it says that there are two default nameservers for that zone.
Actually, last night one of them (BLACKHOLE.ISI.EDU)
was not responding to queries at all.
(I guess, it probably was it that responded with the funny names
earlier yesterday, but then was taken down)

PS. It would be nice to avoid receiving double e-mails, especially
those which are not a direct response to my e-mail ...
