Are you certain of that?  Is the only DNS server listed in the 
Classic TCP/IP settings the same address that Classic thinks it is 
using?  I'm dubious because as far as I can tell, OpenTransport 
really is ignorant of its position running in a thin emulator, and so 
refrains from sending packets into what it sees as network hardware 
if the packets look like loopbacks of any sort.

On the other hand, if I'm slightly wrong in how 'smart' (for normal 
situations) OT is about loopback traffic, it could be that UDP 
traffic (like DNS) works while TCP (like SMTP) can't, at least for 
UDP listeners in the OS X world.
