Well, "Duh"  :-) :-) :-)

I though you'd said you could ping your nameservers by IP#, just that
DNS queries weren't going out to the network?

Always always always try 'ping -n' to the nameservers given in
/etc/resolv.conf whenever you suspect DNS problems!  :-)

(and for slysdexic typists of numbers (esp. IP#s) like me, it's best to
cut&paste them too, or even to write a one-line sed or awk script to
grab them out of the file -- you can never be too sure! :-)
