This only resolves host names through DNS. e.g. ignores your hosts file. You can ask libc's name resolver directly: $ getent hosts bixi $ getent hosts yahoo.com 206.190.60.37 yahoo.com 68.180.206.184 yahoo.com -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
