[SM-Discuss] /etc/hosts being ignored?

I have a question that Google can't seem to help me with.  I know this  
isn't SMGL specific, but I figured "What better group to ask?":

One of my SMGL servers appears to be ignoring the /etc/hosts file.  I  
get errors in various things that cannot resolve 'localhost' (and,  
yes, that line is in the hosts file).  I even placed a bogus name and  
IP address in there as a test, and that confirmed that the file is,  
indeed, being ignored.

Any reason the /etc/hosts file would be ignored?
