Get rid of the leading whitespace if it actually exists in that file. It shouldn't make a difference, but who knows.
BTW, you don't need to reboot.
root@pbx:~ $ ping www.yahoo.com ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com
Try a trailing dot on the FQDN and see if it makes a difference. It shouldn't with ping, but should always be used with dig:
ping www.yahoo.com.
The trailing dot changes the lookup algorithm a bit.
You could also do a RES_OPTIONS="debug" export RES_OPTIONS ping www.yahoo.com. to try to figure things out.
