There are many distros that will set the hostname to whatever you type, and then include a mapping to 127.X.X.X in /etc/hosts which really defeats DNS. It is important to always examine /etc/hosts on any machine (all on the network involved) when you see odd things like this to make sure that the network configuration is sane!
