Which results?

You did

   fping  http://ftp.debian.org/debian

and

   host  http://ftp.debian.org/

In both cases you got 'not found' because you used the commands
inorrectly. You do not have a DND problem.  What is confusing about that?

Google (or Iceweasel, or any other application) will resolve the address
for ftp.debian.org because it knows it is the the right thing to do.
Please follow in their footsteps.
