/etc/nsswitch.conf hosts line:
hosts: files nis dns
/etc/resolve.conf
nameserver [ip-address-of-namesvr]
the above assumes that you've set your default gateway to a router or switch on your subnet that knows how to get to the nameservers subnet....you can test the results with nslookup or ping. remember you probably won't get a response from ping but you shouldn't get "ping: unknown host [hostname]"
