You only need one, but you can put in up to three. The hostresorder line
isn't used, though -- it's a hangover from earlier versions and will be
ignored in Irix 6.2 and upwards. What you need is an entry in
/etc/nsswitch.conf, with the lines

hosts: files dns
ipnodes: files dns

Most software uses the functions that use the hosts line, some uses
ipnodes.
