Well, I wrote a small C program, which calls gethostbyname() with my
gateway's hostname "orion.sc" as parameter. This code doesn't
establishs a internet connections. So, i think, Exim does something
else than just calling gethostbyname().

No, I don't think so. If i remove the "dns" from the hosts: field in
nsswitch.conf, Exim doesn't trigger the connection.
