Bug Description
I noted a further and more severe problem with hostnames in the hosts files. This works nicely:

crossroads.
crossroads.
..but then I get:
mkomu@bling:
OpenSSH_5.5p1 Debian-4ubuntu5, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to crossroads.

Artturi noted that the bug is not about DNS proxy itself. I think Ubuntu Lucid and upwards handle this a bit differently in libc. At the moment, I have the following in my /etc/nsswitch.conf:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
I can make the problem go away by swapping the "files" and "dns" entities.
