Okay, I have installed the pluging, do you mind explaning how this

If I'm correct, following your example, I should be able to do:
$ host try06
What am I missing.
'host' does DNS directly, regardless of nsswitch.conf. That's not how
majority of SW work. Try:
getent hosts try06
or:
ssh try06
The majority will use gethostbyname() which will consult the
nsswitch.conf and use modules defined there. In your case, the
/etc/hosts will be consulted first, then libvirt_guest and DNS is used
only if everything else failed. You can verify that 'host' does DNS
directly by trying a hostname from /etc/hosts. It will give an error
even though getent won't.
