Ahh... I should have figured that from that comments. I renamed it
to just "HOSTS", but still no luck as far as cygwin apps go.
The really weird thing is I've just setup a Win98 machine on the
same network (both Windows boxes are using fixed RFC 1918 IP's being
masqueraded behind my Linux box to a cable net connection), with an
*identical* configuration to '95 one, and it can do DNS lookups just
fine from Cygwin.
