I'm not sure if java is using the system's libc resolver, but assuming it is, you cannot use utilities like nslookup or dig because their use their own resolver. Ping usually uses the libc resolver. If you are on linux, you can use "getent hosts $hostname" to definitively test the libc resolver.
If you really do want to use mdns hosts (ie. end in ".local"), then you must have nss_mdns installed on your system and configure /etc/nsswitch.conf to use it. You may also want to consider using nscd to cache dns lookup. Although if you are using mdns, due to its dynamic nature, you may not want to cache (especially negative lookups) very long unless the host is assigned a static ip. I hope this helps.
