I noticed something similar on one of my Linux machines last week. It 
appears to be a DNS issue as shown below:

A dig for debian.org against the MSU DNS server returns no answer.

rob@netserver:~$ dig @35.8.98.43 debian.org
;; ANSWER SECTION:
;debian.org.                    IN      A

But against an external DNS server (4.2.2.2) it returns the proper result.

rob@netserver:~$ dig @4.2.2.2 debian.org
;; ANSWER SECTION:
;debian.org.             3600    IN      A       192.25.206.10

What DNS servers do you have assigned for your static machines? Perhaps 
they are different than the ones the dynamic machines are querying.
