Your hosts file entry won't have any effect on the rewrite working or not working - if you can browse to the site at all then your hosts file is fine. Hosts file entries simply show your PC look look up the IP address of a host name, out doesn't do any "redirection".
Can you paste some example URLs that work, and some that don't? It doesn't matter that I won't be able to browse to them, I just need to see the examples to work out what is going on.
