If you have a nameserver declared in /etc/resolv.conf what happens since
yahoo.com is not your local domain is that your nameserver is resolving
yahoo.com out of your local network to the correct ip. If you remove the
nameserver from the resolv.conf file then all aplications will pick up your
local webserver when pointed to www.yahoo.com
