I don't know about the policy but you could check the ntfs permissions
to make sure they didn't get changed somehow.

Will,
Have you flushed your local DNS cache to make sure that your server is
still not resolving to that rather than to the entries in the HOSTS file?
What happens if you then put a bogus DNS server into your NIC's DNS
properties, so that there's no way that another server could provide the
name resolution to override the HOSTS entries?
Yours,

On one of our Windows 2003 servers, the HOSTS file is not active. No
changes made to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file are ever
active, even after a reboot. Is there some registry setting or group
policy that would be deactivating that feature?
