Not getting name resolution

Managers,

I'm sure I'm overlooking something pretty stupid here, but I cannot seem to
get name resolution on my DU4.0D box.

If I ping www.mindspring.com, for instance, I get:
        ping: unknown host www.mindspring.com
If I try nslookup, I get:
        *** Can't find server name for address 198.6.1.1: No response from
server
        *** Can't find server name for address 198.6.1.2: No response from
server
        *** Can't find server name for address 198.6.1.3: No response from
server
        *** Default servers are not available

However, I can ping any of these three nameservers, either by name, or by IP
address

I went into bindconfig, and configured the Bind client, set search order to
Local Host File, Bind Database, NIS.

Here's my:
/etc/resolv.conf
        domain ptb.com
        nameserver 198.6.1.1
        nameserver 198.6.1.2
        nameserver 198.6.1.3

/etc/hosts
        127.0.0.1 localhost
        198.6.1.1 cache00.ns.uu.net cache00
#Bind Nameserver
        198.6.1.2 cache01.ns.uu.net cache00
#Bind Nameserver
        198.6.1.3 cache02.ns.uu.net cache00
#Bind Nameserver
        ... some individual host entries here

Still not working. Any ideas?

Cheers,
