Comment (by Ziusudra):

 Adding the line {{{protocols local}}} to irs.conf fixes this. (I didn't
 try the test program but it can be assumed to work.)

 My complete irs.conf is:
 {{{
 hosts local continue
 hosts dns
 protocols local
 }}}
 With this, the hosts file Disreali attached to #7362 works as expected for
 both Web+ and Terminal programs (ping/traceroute). (The MVPS hosts file
 mentioned by Matt fails to resolve anything. I haven't yet looked into why
 that may be.)

 The irs.conf and hosts files both have to be in
 {{{/boot/common/settings/network/}}}. A protocols file is not needed. No
 other files need to be added/modified.
