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?

Thanks,
John
