In /etc/nsswitch.conf modify the "hosts" entry to:
	hosts:      dns [NOTFOUND=continue] files

We also have "networks" set the same:
	networks:      dns [NOTFOUND=continue] files

Modify/create /etc/resolv.conf:
	domain <domain.com>
	search <domainname domainname domainname> # i.e. search yahoo.com netscape.com etc...
	nameserver <IP address>
	nameserver <IP address>
