When you resolve a hostname on RHEL5 (RHEL4 is affected too) that is in

I don't know if this is related or not .. but what are the contents of
/etc/host.conf ??
Same as default. We looked at that too.
order hosts,bind
All systems I have tested it on seem to be affected. So I think I am

Thanks for cross-checking :-)
