Can you ping them using the IP address?

What is that 'hostname' line for? It should not be there. Your DNS
machines work fine for me,

% nslookup dnet.net.id 202.148.1.196
Server:  engine5.dnet.net.id
Address:  202.148.1.196

Name:    dnet.net.id
Address:  202.148.3.189

So, can you ping those addresses using IP addresses (if no, your
connection is suspect)? Does getting that 'hostname' entry out of
resolv.conf fix it (is it meant to be a 'domain' entry)?
