Thanks Tony! I'd been moving and offline for a while, but coming back to this email inspired me to look at my resolve.conf one more time and try using names instead of ip numbers. Upon reboot, everything is lickedy split fast. y'all can check out my ancient java server now up at http://www.bagus.org/ It's kind of a content management tool. Sign the guestbook! It's under Community. There's some stuff about me up at http://www.bagus.org/people/bagus/ Long live 2.2CAM-19980716-SNAP!
