ifconfig led me down the right path. I have 2 aliased addresses on the
NIC in that box. Lookups on the aliased addresses were failing on the
machine itself (but working from off of them). Heck, I couldn't even
ping them from the box itself. I had them aliased with propper netmasks
(255.255.255.192). Changing the nm to 255.255.255.255 solved the
problem.

Thanks for the pointers.

Jon
