In my case it does not matter witch host I lookup.. all give the same error.

When pinging to the same hosts.. resolving seems to work..

# ping www.xs4all.nl
PING www.xs4all.nl (194.109.6.92) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from www.xs4all.nl (194.109.6.92): icmp_seq=0 ttl=248 time=1.96 ms
64 bytes from www.xs4all.nl (194.109.6.92): icmp_seq=1 ttl=248 time=1.45 ms
64 bytes from www.xs4all.nl (194.109.6.92): icmp_seq=2 ttl=248 time=1.19 ms
