The resolv.conf entries I believe are from a previous 
setup, so they not that helpful;

nameserver 209.250.128.6
nameserver 209.250.128.8

- that's it -

david>$ nslookup
Default Server:  typhon.tor.pathcom.com
Address:  209.250.128.6

but if I nslookup an specific address I get what seems
like nonsense;

david>$ nslookup freebsd.org
Server:  typhon.tor.pathcom.com
Address:  209.250.128.6

I cannot ping by name;
david>$ ping skytrackercanada.com
ping: cannot resolve skytrackercanada.com: No address
associated with name

but I CAN ping by address (this address is
skytrackercanada.com)

david>$ ping 209.188.66.29
