Check that you have 'dns' among the services for 'hosts' map in
/etc/nsswitch.conf, e.g.

# grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns

The point is that 'nslookup' and 'host' do DNS lookups (only) while the
applications use (through standard libc functions) whatever is
configured for NSS (Name Service Switch).
