"host" ok, but "ping" can't find ip address

I can do a "host www.linuxplanet.com", with the program returning me the IP address of www.linuxplanet.com.

However, when I "ping www.linuxplanet.com" or do a traceroute, this error appears:

unknown host www.linuxplanet.com

I've set up my BIND to forward queries to my ISP's DNS Server. Also, when I do a "dig @192.168.1.1 www.linuxplanet.com a", the info is there.

If I'm not wrong, ping and traceroute uses different way to do a reverse lookup?

Check your /etc/resolv.conf and read the man page for resolv.conf. You might find your answer there

/etc/resolv.conf seems ok. But then, after a reboot, all is well I don't know why though I didn't change any network settings at all for a couple of days. I don't understand why this happened

Thank you anyway
