I can only presume that you have not configured amd to mount machines
that are out remotely on the Internet. Thus, the question remains, why
is amd causing a lookup to an external nameserver? Anything that it
wants to lookup should be in the host file, and he's already got his
bind-order set to lookup hosts first.
I guess you would have to set up tcpdump to watch the requests that amd
sends out to the nameserver, to see what hostname it's looking for?
Strange.
Do you have both short-names and fully-qualified names in your hosts
file? Maybe amd is constructing a fully-qualified name, from the domain
found in /etc/resolv.conf, and trying to lookup that. Perhaps you
should add the fully-qualified name as an alias in the hosts file, if
you haven't done so already.
