There is a major difference. Any reslotion on the internet is completely broken with that in place. None of the usual tools can resolve anthing, connections fail etc. Setting it back to: hosts: files dns And it starts working again. By working I mean nslookup can resolve alpha names to numbers etc, but only outside my little home network.
