Resolving Host Names via DNS

Hi there --

The Nagios server is currently using the /etc/hosts file to resolve hostnames to
their ip addresses. The request has been made by my supervisors 
to have it resolve hosts via DNS. The order can be either /etc/hosts -> DNS or
DNS -> /etc/hosts. What is the procedure for having DNS name
resolution thrown into the mix? Thanks.
