Ok, this is not necessary now.

For some reasons, I have redone the whole process today and the
entries were correctly redirected to 0.0.0.0 as expected.

There must have been a file corruption when downloading the file from:
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt

The first time I just downloaded it with wget.

Now I have selected all text and copied it into leafpad, then moved it
to /etc/hosts.

There might have been some extra line feed that could have prevented
the file from being parsed correctly.

It's my bad. This has nothing to do with NetBSD.

Thank you all for your contribution.
