I am getting inconsistent name resolution locally with DNS

I have 3 2012 Standard servers and some weirdness on 1.

It is a standard install with IIS role added.

TEST01 is a dev server. 192.119.1.220 with a host header of TEST01.

DATA01 runs internal DNS on .240 and all servers and clients point here for DNS. There is a forward in DNS to 192.119.1.1 (router) with ISP external DNS #s mapped.

if I ping TEST01 from a non AD machine, it I get "Could not find Host TEST01"

If I ping TEST01 from a domain machine(another server), it resolves the IP but does not respond.

if I ping TEST01.AD.local, DNS resolves the IP, but times out.

I can access IIS by entering http://test.WWWDOMAIN.com and I can RDP to it, just not ping.

Any idea where I should start?
