It can also help to use the host <my.host.com> command instead of nslookup or dig.  It'll go through all the resolve.conf resolvers first instead of just going straight to the DNS server for an answer.  I've gotten burned by using dig instead of the host command a few times and it can be a real bummer.

I'm sure you checked already, but is there ns caching going on? It used
to be a real pita on irix and is back again on osx. Once it gets into
its little brain that host doesn't resolve, you get all sorts of fun
behaviours with ssh failing (irix) while nslookup says all's peachy, or
safari not connecting while ping works in terminal.
