Neither the domain eddept.wa.gov.au nor wa.gov.au is currently
delegated. That means that nameservers on the global internet cannot see
it. If I had to guess, I'd say that you have DNS records for that zone
somewhere on your internal network, and for some reason your freebsd
configuration is slightly different from your other machines.
Good luck,
Doug
