The last line here shows that dig is using your local router as a resolver. Can you log in to it and see what it is set to use for DNS? I also have Comcast, and my router gets 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76 as DNS servers. # host 75.75.75.75 75.75.75.75.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer cdns01.comcast.net. # host 75.75.76.76 76.76.75.75.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer cdns02.comcast.net. Telling dig to use either of those gets the correct result: # dig onea.net-snmp.org @75.75.75.75 ; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.37.rc1.el6_7.2 <<>> onea.net-snmp.org @75.75.75.75 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 3691 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;onea.net-snmp.org.

So as far as I can tell, the failure point is your router's DNS resolution.
