LMHOSTS suddenly ignored

I have a Windows 2003 server in my DMZ which has an LMHOSTS file with
a couple of entries.
These entries are now being ignored by NSLOOKUP, which goes directly
to an external DNS server, and of course gives the wrong answer.
Any ideas?
It stopped working 2 days ago, after a stormy night, but everything
else seems fine...
