Nope.  And keep in mind I can resolve google.com and other external
domain names.  And I can access local network machines by their
numeric IPs.  And, as mentioned, I can still resolve local names with
nslookup.  All of these factors would seem to indicate it's not a
firewall problem.

That does pique my curiosity -- is it really generating a DNS request?
 I will have to bust out a sniffer when I get home.  Thanks for the
suggestion, John.

I haven't sniffed any packets in a long time.  What tools do the cool
kids use these days?  I used to use ettercap and etherial.
