Works on my network, my nsswitch.conf looks like this:
hosts: files [!NOTFOUND=return] wins [!NOTFOUND=return] dns
I seem to recall that the [!NOTFOUND=return], which is confusing as a
double negative, keeps things like ping from hanging by causing an
immediate return once a resolution is found.
Order is important, so the above looks in the local files (/etc/hosts),
then WINS and finally DNS, if you change the order, you may get different
results.
