My best practice for host value, is to use a static hosts file:
In that case you do not have to keep another dns cache in memory,
you have control locally and do not depend on an udp based service where
you can loose request/reply, etc.

So, I suggest to use:
keep-hostname(no);
use-dns(persist-only);
dns-cache-hosts(/my/local/hosts.file);

Kind regards,
