%cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain  buildreferrals.com
nameserver      127.0.0.1
%cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1               localhost       localhost.localdomain
65.119.108.130          db              db.buildreferrals.com
%host db
db.buildreferrals.com has address 66.33.85.240

What's happening above? I'm trying to make it so that the host "db" (or
db.buildreferrals.com) points to 65.119.108.130 (as specified in
/etc/hosts) when I look it up from the machine. But when I actually look
up that host, it gives a different address.

(The DNS will eventually point 'db' to the correct host, but I need it to
work in /etc/hosts for efficiency reasons.)
