Derek,
I finally resolved my problem... took a little head scratching.
I forgot I modified my hosts file as specified by:
ad blocker http://everythingisnt.com/hosts.html
this modifies the hosts file so that all known advertising sources are
aliased to 127.0.0.1
I was trying to pinpoint
What quote source do you use? I know that F::Q reads the html from your
quote source and parses the html to find the quote. Perhaps it is
downloading the advertising from that site as well.

Phil,
Do you mean that F::Q works like the browser? When you ask the browser
to get a quote, you get all the advertising with it, and so when F::Q
gets a a stock quote, F::Q also gets the advertising... and can't
complete the transaction without making a connection to the advertising
website?

I re-applied the ad blocker, and with my browser, was able to get a
quote for RHAT AMD from the yahoo website successfully. When I tried
gnc-fq-dump yahoo RHT AMD from the command line and it failed. This
leads me to think that F::Q does not work
Josh,
Seems a little odd that F::Q would fail when advertiser domain names are
unresolvable... I would figure, if an F::Q encounters an ad domain while
scraping, it would ignore it and look for the goodies. I guess I could
tcpdump the F:Q connection to see what's going on at the packet level...
