If its just the one machine, then putting it into /etc/hosts would be easier
:-) That is, just edit /etc/hosts and put at the bottom:

  1.1.1.1    linuxmachine


Check that /etc/nsswitch.conf has something in it like:
  hosts:   files dns          (the 'dns' bit may be absent; you need the
                              'files' bit)
