Re: Changing DNS Servers
Look at your /etc/resolv.conf file.
It should contain the following lines:
domain
nameserver 10.64...
nameserver
Make sure both nameservers are valid, and be sure to use IP addresses.
Is "us.abc.com" your clients domain name? Check with your windows admin to make sure the DNS server is configured to resolve hosts outside of your domain.

Re: Changing DNS Servers
# ping 10.64.xxx.xxx
and then telnet to port 53
# telnet 10.64.xxx.xxx 53
Try from a machine that can reach the DNS server without using the firewall.
Since the DNS server is inside the firewall, check with your firewall admin if the port 53 UDP/TCP is resticted to only some clients

Re: Changing DNS Servers
check your nssswitch.conf and make sure the hosts line looks something like this
hosts: DNS [not found=continue error=continue] FILES
could someone check the syntax of that, it's been a while. i'm certain of the content, just not the puncuation.

SolutionIt also looks like you have an nsswitch.conf file configured to look in files first since DNS is the first method by default. Make sure the hosts entry in the looks like the following so binaries compiled with the 10.X libraries resolve the same way as 11.X binaries:
hosts: files [SUCCESS=return NOTFOUND=continue TRYAGAIN=continue UNAVAIL=continue] dns
I'm guessing you're not using NIS since that would typically be between files and dns in the resolution order.
