The 'host' command is not reading /etc/hosts by design.
The command:
host foo dns-server
performs a dns lookup of host 'foo' from dns-server. If dns-server is not
provided, as in:
host foo
then, per the man page:
server is an optional argument which is either the name or IP address
of the name server that host should query instead of the server or
servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf.
If you believe this is not working as designed please change the status
from 'Invalid'
** Changed in: bind9 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
