Look under /etc for hosts.conf or nsswitch.conf:

Er, I'm pretty sure it's /etc/host.conf (no "s").
But if your /etc/hosts doesn't contain the hostname you are after, that
only leaves DNS, NIS and LDAP (I think) for the host.conf file to
order. For DNS, what does "host whatever.your.hostname.was" show from
the machine where you seem to be getting the wrong answer?
