ifconfig -a shows:

status: active/etc/resolv.conf is right:
domain my.uni.org nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx nameserver yy.yy.yy.yy nameserver zz.zz.zz.zz
All nameservers are working properly on every other machine. I deleted host.conf file (which was also right) and nothing changes.
Commands host, nslookup, and dig all work very well for both internal an external sites. But ping for example fails:
cannot resolve www.xxx.yy: Unknown host
where www.xxx.yy is any machine name except localhost (which is taken from /etc/hosts).
When using IPs everything works fine of course.
I'm also running a sniffer which displays all in/out packets to my 1st
NS when I run host, nslookup, or dig. But all others (ping, traceroute,...) fail without even asking the NS (ie. the sniffer doesn't show a single packet!).
I wonder if anyone has had similar problems and how and if they were solved?
