[syslog-ng] Problem with hostnames!

[mrgenius]

Well if set use_dns(off) then it stops reading /etc/hosts file and start 
storing hosts as IP addresses. 
 I am using Mandrake 10.1 Official......
 In nsswitch.conf i have tried by giving DNS, file and file,dns both 
combination.. but it doesn't make any difference... its still neither 
picking private Ips from /etc/hosts nor from local cache dns server.
