Have you checked the nsswitch.conf file?

Thanks, but it still doesn't work.

You need to have the default domain in the resolv.conf file. The
defaultdomain
file is for NIS only.

Make your resolve.conf look something like this:

domain mydomain1

nameserver 173.16.1.17
nameserver 198.247.26.2
nameserver 12.168.2.72
