This is not really a FreeBSD problem ... in fact, it's happening on a Solaris 10 machine. But because the TCP stack and its userland interface came from BSD, I am hoping some kind soul might have an insight into what's going on ...
The machine in question does DNS lookups fine via dig or nslookup. I believe these connect directly to the DNS server(s) specified in /etc/resolv.conf. However, any program that uses gethostbyname() - like ping - fails and says it cannot resolve the name. I'm looking for hints here on why or how gethostbyname() and/or the network stack could get clobbered so as to not be able to talk to the DNS servers which I know are reachable via dig and nslookup.
