Yup, but that only handles the reverse translation (which works OK)
and, of course, doesn't handle other stuff I might have in "/etc/hosts".

I also have in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
    hosts: files dns

so I'd think domain resolution should look in /etc/hosts before
even checking my cache-only named.  Which it seems to do for "ping",
but not for "host", "nslookup", or "mozilla".

Caching on?
