Chrome - "Unable to determine IP address from host name" from hosts file entry

I have a problem with chrome resolving an entry in my local hosts file (/etc/hosts). This is my host-file:

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1       localhost

127.0.0.1 mylocalpage.com

Unfortunately I got the following error from chrome when I try to access the page:

ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://mylocalpage.com/

Unable to determine IP address from host name mylocalpage.com

The DNS server returned:

Name Error: The domain name does not exist. This means that the system was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct.

On all the other browsers like firefox, opera etc. It works like a charm. Is there a setting in chrome which I forgot?

I dont really know how to start here. Can someone give me an approach how to proceed here.

It's seems like a cache issue. Try clearing it at chrome://net-internals/#dns.
