You can put whatever you want into hosts file and it will not change
this. nslookup is going to the dns server. (The dns server doesn't care
about your hosts file even if it is on your machine.) To make this change
you need to make a start of authority on the DNS server. The DNS-HOWTO has
all the nitty gritty details.

Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
