If a box cannot resolve something it must have a broken resolver. I would start by checking /etc/resolv.conf.

res_init
res_init(3) Library Functions Manual res_init(3)
NAME
res_init - Searches for a default domain name and Internet address
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.a, libc.so)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/nameser.h> #include <resolv.h>
void res_init ( void );
DESCRIPTION
The res_init() function reads the /etc/resolv.conf file for the default domain name and the Internet address of the initial hosts running
the name server, even if the name server is not functioning.
The res_init() function is one of a set of subroutines that form the resolver, a set of functions that resolve domain names. All resolver
functions use the /usr/include/resolv.h header file, which defines the _res data structure. The res_init() function stores domain name
information in the _res data structure.
NOTES
If the /etc/resolv.conf file does not exist, the res_init() function attempts name resolution using the local /etc/hosts file. If the sys-
tem is not using a domain name server, the /etc/resolv.conf file should not exist. The /etc/host file should be present on the system even
if the system is using a name server. In this instance, the file should contain the host IDs that the system requires to function even if
the name server is not functioning.
FILES
Contains the name server and domain name.
Contains hostnames and their addresses for hosts in a network. This file is used to resolve a hostname into an Internet address.
