I have an odd network situation that I have so far managed to narrow down to the inability to resolve a domain via systemd-resolved which is resolvable with nslookup. If I use nslookup against the two nameservers on this network I get answers for the domain, but ping says it is unable to resolve the same domain (as do browsers and crucially the captive portal mechanism).

Here are details:

NSLOOKUP:

~$ nslookup securelogin.arubanetworks.com 208.67.220.220
Server: 208.67.220.220
Address: 208.67.220.220#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: securelogin.arubanetworks.com
Address: 172.22.240.242

~$ nslookup securelogin.arubanetworks.com 208.67.222.222
Server: 208.67.222.222
Address: 208.67.222.222#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: securelogin.arubanetworks.com
Address: 172.22.240.242

PING:

~$ ping securelogin.arubanetworks.com
ping: securelogin.arubanetworks.com: Name or service not known
mark@mark-X1Y2:~$
