While troubleshooting an issue the other day someone recommended that I
check /etc/host.conf, which is a file I have never needed to use before,
so further research shows that if /etc/nsswitch.conf exists then
/etc/hosts.conf gets ignored and will only get used if something issues
the dig or host command.
So there was no need for me to use host.conf, but I did learn something that day.
