Well I feel stupid now, after checking everything in the engine VM itself
per your suggestion, I checked /etc/hosts on the host itself.  I could have
sworn I added in an entry, but sure enough, missing entry for the
engine...  I cleaned up the old "External" engine VM from setup, added the
entry into /etc/hosts, and everything seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for the help!
