In my case this was I believe caused by avahi lookups taking priority.
In nsswitch.conf I had:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
I changed this to:
hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
and all was well.

I don’t think you need the second ‘dns’ in the new line.
Probably not, but it works now.
tbh on most servers you shouldn’t need anything other than “files dns”
