Yep. That is what generally everybody does.

order     hosts, bind

You were talking about Domain Name "Server" config, which is not the case here.
These two things are two different entities.

I am confused.  Cant we say through the /etc/host.conf that first
finish resolving the private things throug the /etc/host and only then
go for bind, thus to DNS.
