Try "pfexec svcadm restart name-service-cache" just to be sure.

I believe it's the search path that the resolver (likely nscd) is using.
 This could have something to do with the problem.  Here's what I see on
my system:

% getent ipnodes www.sun.com.podzimek.org
95.82.129.164   charon.podzimek.org www.sun.com.podzimek.org
2002:5f52:81a4::1       charon.podzimek.org www.sun.com.podzimek.org
% getent ipnodes www.sun.com
137.254.16.57   www.sun.com
%

In other words, I don't have the same search path you do.
