host(1), dig(1), delv(1), drill(1) and nslookup(1) are all specifically
tools for doing lookups in the DNS. That's the only place they look.
If you want to replicate the full hostname resolution process using all
the facilities enabled in your nsswitch.conf, use getent(1) like so:
getent hosts freefall.freebsd.org
Cheers,
Matthew
