No. BIND doesn't read/use the hosts file. What you _can_ do is configure BIND to believe it's authoritative for those zones, but I'd not recommend doing this unless you have a very good reason. And if your Internet connection goes down, does it really matter whether you can do lookups, if you can't make the connections anyway?
