have you checked out Netinfo in Apps/Utilites/NetinfoManager (it's 
something like that).  this is the kludge i use to manage my hosts file 
on OSX.  Under the machines entry i add each of the boxen that i would 
normally have in my /etc/hosts file.  maybe the bigger mac heads have a 
better workaround.

you might want to also check /etc/resolv.conf and make sure "file" is 
set before netinfo...altho i *think* this get's reset after reboot.
