First guess - have a look at /etc/hosts - it's probably there. Check /etc/nsswitch.conf - you'll probably find a line like:
hosts: files dns This tells the system resolver routines to look in /etc/hosts first, then try DNS if that fails. When you're running host by hand, you're bypassing the file check and going straight to DNS.
