It doesn't matter if "it works fine". The host command indeed does dns
lookups as John Pierce already pointed out and apache does, too. With your
experience level I suggest believing him. It's working on your other
system because that hostname is in the resolver cache or can be resolved.
You want to use DNS, anyway.
For your apache problem: you want to read up on name-based virtual hosts.
