This is what I've got:

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

And it's identical to other machines on my network that work correctly.

I tried trimming it down to just "files dns" last night, but it didn't
seem to make a difference.

I appreciate you helping me poke through this.
