Of course, now I remember. It's the /etc/host.conf file that is supposed
to have "order hosts,bind". And when I look in there, there is a note
that says "# The "order" line is only used by old versions of the C
library."

It has "hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4". So I
still don't understand why my local machines I've listed in /etc/hosts
are not being found.

I'll keep digging. 

Thanks,

Bob
