That file is used by older 'libc' applications. Glibc2 uses
/etc/nsswitch.conf which should have a 'host' line similar to
[compton ~]$ grep host /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files nisplus nis dns
[compton ~]$ whatis nsswitch.conf
nsswitch.conf [nsswitch] (5) - System Databases and Name Service Switch
configuration file
[compton ~]$

No, that's a compatibility function. See the 'resolver' man page.
I haven't used wu-ftpd in a while, but as I recall, it uses standard
resolver calls to find hostname/address information. You might also
look the your superserver configuration (inetd or xinetd) and see if you
are using tcp_wrappers. They also cause lookups.
