Oddly enough, my first reply didn't make it.  Here it is again:

Sorry, I knew that.  Brain fart.

The firewall is an older Netgear ProSafe VPN Frewall FVS114.

Yes it does.

Yes it is.

That's a good idea.  I have a classic choke/bastion firewall setup,
and there's a
different domain in the DMZ. I will ask them to plug it into the DMZ
and see if it gets
out.  I was also thinking it might be the switch, which I don't
administer.  They put in
a new fancy high speed switch in the building, and I think can do some
filtering itself.
I'll ask them to swap ports on the switch and see what happens.

I'll talk to the hardware guys about doing that.

Yes, though it does not run named itself, but talks to a local
nameserver.
