asked on RHEL Name Resolution Local Host file and DNS
Unable to get name resolution from RHEL 5 /etc/hosts.
/etc/nsswitch.conf includes:
hosts: files dns
Example: /etc/hosts contains:
172.113.100.1 testsservername
host testservername returns: Host testsservername not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Thanks

Responding to several comments:
/etc/hosts.conf does contain expect order = hosts,bind
ping does resolve to the expected address so /etc/nsswitch.conf or host.conf acting as expected.
getent hosts [hostname] provides what I need.
