Along those same lines... you might want to check your /etc/hosts.conf
and /etc/nsswitch.conf to verify the order in which your machine is
trying to resolve names/addresses.

If it wants to use DNS before looking in the local hosts file then
I'd imagine you seeing terribly degraded performance if there really
is no network configured.
