bind 9.2r8 and sendmail 8.11.0

[Kevin Darcy]

Try resolving the name in question using dig, against the same nameserver the
sendmail box is using. Does it resolve? If not, then this is a garden-variety
DNS-resolution problem. It would help if you provided a concrete example of a
name that isn't resolving.
