During my recent battle with Domino and hostnames ( more to come soon ), I stumbled upon this rather useful little configuration file: -
/etc/nsswitch.conf
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4.
Amongst other gems, it contains the magic line: -
hosts: files dns
which means that hosts are looked up via /etc/hosts before heading off to the wacky world of DNS.
For the record, AIX uses an environment variable called NSORDER
export NSORDER=bind,local,nis
as per this wiki article: -
Installing and configuring IBM Lotus Domino 8.5 on AIX
Now is that useful, or what ?
