Paul Dekker once stated:

=make sure /etc/host.conf contains 'bind' on a line by itself.  The file might look like:

There is.

=nslookup uses the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf.  other applications use resources listed in /etc/host.conf.  if bind isn't in there they won't use the nameserver(s).

Besides, fetch has no problem with ftp URL(s). Other apps resolve fine too: rfinger,
ssh...

=Hope this helps.

Nope :(
