LinuxQuestions.org - "host" works, "dig" fails... what?

So, I just added a new subnet and subdomain to my DNS environment. "host" sees the new just fine, but "dig" fails? In fact, dig even fails to a subdomain that has been around a while. (The new subnet is next to the old one, and they've been combined with a 23-bit netmask.)

...

What? They're both making the same query to the same DNS server based on the same resolv.conf file.

Existing subdomain/subnet:

Code:

[root@admin ~]# host abc012

abc012.old.sub.dom has address 192.168.22.192



[root@admin ~]# dig abc012

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_5.3 <<>> abc0012

;; global options:  printcmd

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

New subdomain/subnet:

Code:

[root@admin ~]# host def005

def005.new.sub.dom has address 192.168.23.107



[root@admin ~]# dig def005

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_5.3 <<>> def005

;; global options:  printcmd

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

It gets even weirder! Ping and ssh split the difference. They see the old one, but not the new one.

Code:

[root@admin ~]# ping abc012

Dubya Tee Eff, Ovah? ;-)

Any ideas out there?
