All I can do is confirm the problem your having. Certain applications (especially those that run in a chrooted environment) gave me the most problems, but could be fixed my editing the chrooted copy of the /etc/hosts file. Once I discovered that, the solution to this problem seemed clear. I implemented my own DNS server to run on my local LAN. There was no way I was going to maintain multiple copies of /etc/hosts for each chrooted application running on my server.
