Fair enough, I missed your point.

IIRC there are two kinds of name lookup, gethostbyname(), which I think is 
used by ping, and something else I never heard of, which presumably returns 
the raw DNS info.

Another idea, there is also an app called nscd, Name service cacheing Daemon, 
I seem to have it installed but it is not running here.

Does running host as root make any difference?
