Or fix your /etc/host.conf to lookup in files first and then use DNS, 
then put your local network in /etc/hosts.  Much simpler for a small 
network.

E.g. /etc/host.conf

# First try the /etc/hosts file
hosts
# Now try the nameserver next.
bind


And /etc/hosts

192.168.0.1   myhost

Then leave resolv.conf alone.  It will be used for anything not in your 
local hosts file.
