This is your resolution order -- local files (/etc/hosts) first, then
DNS. This is the default setting, so it's probably not your problem.

I'm kinda amazed I was up at that hour on New Year's Day! :-)
>From /etc/resolv.conf in your first message I see your DNS search order
is:
nameserver 192.168.181.254
nameserver 194.168.4.100
nameserver 194.117.134.19
and your /etc/hosts contains:
192.168.181.122 cobalt.xegetix.com cobalt # Added by
NetworkManager

to remove that entry (and regain access to that third external DNS
server).
