Hello yjchui ,

what do you have in your " /etc/nsswitch.conf" ?
You have to specify that it should use dns:
the following line should be in that file:
ipnodes:    files dns
(by default it only has files)

for ipv4 you´ve specified the following
hosts:      files dns

(ipnodes is the same as hosts is in ipv4)
the host file for ipv6 is /etc/inet/ipnodes

Goodluck,
