No. What behavior makes you believe that the system is ignoring the hosts file?


After upgrading to FC4, I was unable to print from my 'lioness' laptop
until I changed the JetDirect printer configuration from 'lionjet' to
'192.168.1.11'. I can no longer check connectivity to my gateway router
with a 'ping gw'. I have to use 'ping 192.168.1.1' instead.

As root, you can use strace to figure out whether or not hosts is being opened:


strace -e connect,open ping gw -c 2 >/dev/null

If hosts is being opened, then you should check the file for problems that might prevent it from being parsed.
