I think you should set your hostname in ~/.zshrc

Which package does host belong to?

% dpkg -S =host
dnsutils: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/host

The resolvers used are shown with -v option:

$ cat etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.100.1

$ host -v foo.invalid.
Trying "foo.invalid"
Host foo.invalid. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Received 104 bytes from 192.168.100.1#53 in 560 ms
Received 104 bytes from 192.168.100.1#53 in 560 ms

$ vi etc/resolv.conf

$ cat etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8

$ ./host -v foo.invalid.
Trying "foo.invalid"
Host foo.invalid. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Received 104 bytes from 8.8.8.8#53 in 80 ms

Also I recommend using strace to make sure the correct resolv.conf is read.

Please share the output of termux-info.

I suggest using strace command to investigate what is happening behind the scenes.
