/etc/hosts not working

Hi,
I am trying to redirect a URL request to a different address but it appears
that /etc/hosts is not doing the job. Example:
127.0.0.1 google.com
The way I understand it is that by typing google.com in a web browser it
should result in the local page being displayed. It instead goes to the
proper Google page.
`ping google.com' actually pings 127.0.0.1 but `host google' returns the
actual IP addresses for google.
/etc/nsswitch.conf has `hosts: files dns' and host.conf has `hosts\n dns'
Any idea why the system calls are not honouring /etc/hosts?
Regards
David
