 I also found why 'getent hosts create' was resolving:
 my resolv.conf had no "search" option set, and manual says:
 
   search      Search list for host-name lookup.  The search list is nor‐
               mally determined from the local domain name; by default, it
               contains only the local domain name.
 
 My hostname is 42.pl, same as domain name, but I guess some code
 simply chops off first component and domain name was automatically
 set to "pl" and getent found "create.pl".
 
 How about not chopping off first component in such a case? :)
 
 In addition to not resolving ifconfig command names? :)
