Pihole unable to resolve host name

My pihole runs on Raspberry Pi3B in 192.168.2.104 and serves as DNS for the 192.168.33.xxx devices.

My pi DNS is 192.168.2.105 (which also runs a pihole to serve another vlan).

When I ping from my pi to ping www.google.com, it resolves it to 172.217.16.196 and responds ok.

If I try from an 192.168.33.xxx device ping www.google.com it fails to resolve the address. But If I ping to 172.217.16.196 I receive a response.

Both my piholes seems to have a same configuration.

Any help would by appreciated

Here is the debug from my debug https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/GogBpHwU/

Via Settings|DNS -> Interface settings , switch your Pi-hole's listening behaviour to Respond only on interface eth0.

Then, run from the machine with the ping difficulties, please share the output of the following commands:

nslookup pi.hole
nslookup flurry.com 192.168.2.104
nslookup www.google.com 192.168.2.104

How does www.google.com register in Pi-hole's Query Log?

Many thank for pointing this to me. Now the pi-hole resolves the web addresses just fine.
