DNS resolves... but doesn't....

[Tyler Aviss]

Here's a weird one.
I'm setting up a new box, and I know I must have messed something up
along the way, but for the life of me I can't figure out what.

My /etc/resolv.conf is correct
I'm not running bind or nscd
I've blacklisted IPV6

When I do a "ping" or a "dig"... my DNS happily resolves properly:
$ ping download.virtualbox.org
PING dlc.sun.com (72.5.124.114) 56(84) bytes of data.
$ ping volatile.debian.org
PING volatile.debian.org (130.89.149.227) 56(84) bytes of data.

However, any other commands (Iinks, wget, apt-get, scp, ssh) can't
seem to resolve DNS:

W: Failed to fetch
http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile/dists/lenny/volatile/non-free/i18n/Translation-en_CA.bz2
 Could not resolve 'volatile.debian.org'

W: Failed to fetch
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/lenny/Release.gpg
 Could not resolve 'download.virtualbox.org'



Anyone know what might be up with this?
