Trouble with DNS and using %Host

[aussieoc]

Ok so I setup a DNS server and a client. Now I can run %host server1 on both and receive a correct read out. But when I try to run %host station1 I receive host server not found. I have put the IP addy and name of station1 in both /etc/hosts files on each machine. Any suggetions?

Thanks

DNS (bind) and /etc/hosts have nothing to do with each other.

Ok so why doesn't the command %host station1 display the IP address?
