That would be because "host" _always_ uses DNS. It does not ever use
/etc/hosts and there is no way to make it do so. It is after all a tool
for testing DNS. If you must have it working then you need to set up a
local DNS or point /etc/resolv.conf to a working DNS.

If you just want to see if your setup is right, try another program like
"ping". It should use local files first.

Thank you very much for the kindly answer!
