In my Caldera 3.1 system (yes, Gentoo is going to replace it <G>.  I have a 
Gentoo system up and running now and am migrating) there is a hosts.conf 
which lists the order name resolution is done.  Mine has hosts, bind, ... in 
it.  Is this what the /etc/nsswitch.conf file does - define the order.  For 
example my /etc/nsswitch.conf has 

hosts: files dns

where I assume files is host files and then it goes to dns?

Thanks.
