Check /etc/nsswitch.conf.  I'm willing to bet you have an entry:

	hosts:	files dns

If so, and you have an /etc/hosts entry that says

	127.0.0.1  audit.media.hu

then that's what will get pinged, since the resolver library for ping
will use the /etc/hosts entry (because the "files:" bit of
nsswitch.conf tells it to).  In fact, any command that uses the
resolver libraries will exhibit the same behavior.

The host command is intended to test the DNS system so it sends out DNS
queries directly (and ignores nsswitch.conf).  nslookup in its day did
the same thing.
