Cannot resolve hostname

We've got a WSS3 site hosted on our intranet, internal only. We have one specific iMac on 10.8 (our company VP's machine) which cannot resolve the hostname in Safari or Firefox. Chrome can do it, as can dig, ping, network utility, etc. The DNS cache record has the correct IP. Nothing in hosts. We've restarted the MDNS Responder service, ran dscacheutil -flushcache, cleared local browser caches, run ccleaner, restarted, etc, nothing seems to be working. We just get a cannot connect to server message in the browser. I'm stuck on this, and I'm far from being a Mac expert, I could use some suggestions (other than an OS reinstall, which is a last resort).

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Now the user has decided to pursue this issue further, as the new system is exhibiting the same behaviour (unsurprising as we restored a complete time machine backup from the old system to the new system).


The output of the 5 commands is as follows:
