I've been doing it since 1985. When were you born? Snarky is why people hate "gurus". When I was connecting to the Internet with a 2400 baud modem, I created my own local caching DNS. I don't want to do that now. I just want the host command to work as it did for twenty-odd years. As a couple posters suggested, I am now using getent ahosts.
