Is this supposed to work for a single name (not fully qualified)?

I'm trying to get a machine called test to resolve but nothing happens.

Host Domain IP Description
test test 1.2.3.4 test

I want to be able to ping test and have it respond at 1.2.3.4
It should also respond to http://test

thanks

btw: /etc/hosts shows
1.2.3.4 test test.test

but I can only ping test.test….. not simply test

update:
It took a few minutes, but my other machines are now able to ping "test"

Is there something I need to restart to make this happen quicker or do I just need to let it runs its course?

Search the forum.
I posted somewhere screenshots of exactly this.

To access test instead of test.test you have to leve the field host empty.

ie:

Host Domain IP Description
test 1.2.3.4 test
