in reply to /etc/hosts is not evaluated after modification on Linux

As Corion says, it sounds like a caching issue. On SLES, it is likely you have an nscd daemon running, which is responsible for caching this data. According to the documentation, running this command after changing /etc/hosts will invalidate the cache and should resolve your problem, I think:

sudo nscd -i /etc/hosts
