        /etc/nsswitch.conf:
                hosts: files dns

        /etc/hosts:

                ip.of.named.host  name.of.named.host
                ip.of.other.host  name.of.other.host


        Give explicite IP/name mappings for those which
        you don't want to be looked via the resolver.

        This is, of course, system-wide, but use it sparingly.
