I have set host.conf to look first at hosts file, then DNS, and set entries for localhost & myhost.mydomain is /etc/hosts. This host is the DNS primary (and only) server for my subnet, so I think the hosts stuff is right: at startup named is not still running. Thanks in advance for your help Angelo Turetta.
