Try changing the order a bit.  In /etc/hosts:

216.64.108.209  mailsrv.image-src.com   mailsrv
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain           localhost

And I'll assume you have something like the following in /etc/resolv.conf:

domain inage-src.com
nameserver 198.243.2.200
nameserver 198.243.1.97

That's how mine look on a 6.2 server and I've had no problems to speak of 
with DNS resolution.
