I don't know the details...but my experi ence is... When you use ip to connect another compu ter, it need to check if this ip is ille gal and check if this ip is from the rig ht one. So linux default is set to find the host name from HOSTS -> DNS -> NIS If you add IP to /etc/hosts, then it can find the hostname from the IP...and need n't DNS.
