It is. The domains between the / characters are not regexs, and they
always match more specific subdomains. Using /etc/hosts is the way to go.
You might like to think about removing the "search" configuration. As
far as I can see it's an evolutionary throwback to the move from a flay
hosts file (for the whole internet) to DNS, and it's really not very
useful for a modern machine.
Cheers,
