A NSLookup trace would probably be more helpful, than just a non
resolution from ping. Perhaps it won't show us anything, but it might.

---
Provided the nslookup trace show that the server you expect isn't
giving answers, rather than some other problem...

Is BIND configured to answer queries from hosts in the IP
block that the station is in? [See listen-on and allow-query in BIND
docs]
