Les,
 DNS appears to work ok - "dig www.ge.com" returns data instantly. There
were -no- hardware changes or moves and I'm running the old kernel,
because I did notice on my test server, that after reboot with new kernel
eth0 and eth1 were reversed. (tested for that too).
 Part of the problem is the distance of 2K miles.
 I'm sure it is something silly, or a new bug introduced by upgrade ;-)
