/etc/host.conf. Mine looks like this (I don't run named, so the hosts file
comes first):-

hosts
bind

For completeness, here are my copies of the other files mentioned:-

#resolv.conf
domain jraynard.demon.co.uk
nameserver 158.152.1.65
nameserver 158.152.1.193

#hosts
# For looping back.
127.0.0.1	localhost

# This machine
158.152.42.77	jraynard.demon.co.uk	jraynard

# The router.
158.152.1.71	nether.demon.co.uk	nether

# Smart mail host
158.152.1.73	punt.demon.co.uk	punt
# ... more of my ISP's machines
