To clarify, the look up with "host" is successful but returns strangely
an error:

Host gai not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Bug description:
DNS proxy behaves strangely when looking up a host name that is located in the 
/etc/hip/hosts and /etc/hosts files. The strange behavior occurs with host 
command: 

mkomu@bling:~$ host gai
gai has address 1.0.0.2
gai has IPv6 address 2001:15:e156:8a78:3226:dbaa:f2ff:ed06
Host gai not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

But apparently not with dig:

mkomu@bling:~$ dig gai
