The system resolver will happily provide answers based upon data from /etc/hosts, YP/NIS, and LDAP which have no relationship to what is in the DNS. Every other application on the system is probably not a DNS nameserver. Case in point: should dig use the system resolver for an /etc/hosts entry and pretend that there was an A and PTR record in the DNS?
