[Sorry, Peter, I'd meant to send this to the list, not just you.]
Hmmm. That seems weird, since the only nameserver I have listed is mine,
and it appears to be working. If it is broken, it must be something rather
subtle, since I've had no trouble doing all sorts of DNS-heavy things like
web surfing, and the few hundred messages my mail server handles daily all
seem to be getting through.
Furthermore, the IP that shows up in the header when it's working is a
local IP---192.168.254.101---which it should find in /etc/hosts without
needing to resort to DNS. The lookup order in /etc/host.conf has hosts
before dns, so it should be looking there first.
Does this give anyone an idea about what, specifically, is broken w/r/t the
resolver?
