from your recent post it looks like it is looking in files befor dns.
keep in mind some untilities like nslookup connect to a DNS server to get replies so if your query is not in the dns tables its not going to find it even if it is in /etc/hosts.
I dont know what data protector is or what it does...
are you haveing a problem w/ that program or is your nsswitch.conf issue?
