I have host.conf just like you... but what's  the point of it?  It seems
to duplicate nsswitch.conf,  which AFAIK is  the de facto  standard - my
kneejerk   reaction is  that   RH  re-invented the   wheel.   Why  is it
necessary?   the  man page  sez   "information specific to the  resolver
library"... isn't this what Sun did with nsswitch.conf way back in early
90s?!
