Thanks for all the help and patience with my bumbling. I can now report
success, as far as the topic of this thread is concerned. I'm currently
using Vince's suggestion, Pi-hole for DNS. Once I got a functional bridge,
it worked immediately.
Of course, I've still got some issues to deal with before the new station
can go online. DNS is not the issue, so I can start a separate thread if
that would be better. I just need to get the Interceptor driver to co-exist
with the apache2 server. My situation matches the "most complicated "
scenario described in the Interceptor readme file:

Later in the readme there's an example of a reverse proxy:

I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to do what I need. The driver still
reads data as long as it's listening to port 80, but finds nothing when
listening on 9999.
Any advice will be appreciated!
