    How did you verify it was correctly written? Did you restart httpd
    after modifying the file so the server was using the new config data?

    someone else said you must use the default "127.0.0.1
    localhost.localdomain localhost" in this location.
    They are correct but you can modify the line to read
    " 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
    simpaticus.localdomain simpaticus"
    Then it will still see the localhost entry as well as the simpaticus
    entry and simpaticus will be resolved to the loopback address..

    On my install (and historically on all Linux versions I have used) the
    host.conf file contains " order hosts,bind "
    Don't know that this is the issue and others have commented on different
    parts of this message, but if this is not correct the machine cannot use
    DNS at all.
