Kent, Thanks for the quick response. I cleaned out a lot of deadwood from rc.conf on both machines, verified defaultrouter (set to external gateway IP address on the gateway machine and internal gateway IP address on the client), and added a second nameserver to resolv.conf for both machines. No dice. Any other suggestions?
