My /etc/nsswitch.conf setup is as follows:
hosts: files dns
networks: files dns

Seems to be what happens on my system.

I was not talking about Konqueror, but I see the problem with my test. The
entires I put in /etc/hosts were already cached by Firefox! And since it does
its own DNS caching, I did not see any DNS queries. If I put an address I did
not visit before in /etc/hosts, then it does do a look up just like
Konqueror. Oh well...
