If you're able to reach the web site via IP address, the problem isn't
routing. However, HP-UX configures this through /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
(along with IP addresses for the interfaces).

The form of the resolv.conf looks good and if you use the same nameservers
on other systems with no problems, things should work for you. And you say
you have nsswitch.conf configured to use files, nis, then dns so that should
be good too.

The one thing that comes to mind is to check the permissions on
nsswitch.conf and resolv.conf. I vaguely recall having some difficulties at
my previous job while trying to lock some file permissions down and
discovered that if resolv.conf wasn't world readable, things didn't work.
