The problem seems to stem from the nameserver entry in resolv.conf: cally:/usr/home/hg$ cat /etc/resolv.conf order hosts,bind search n2wx.mpcs.com n2wx.ampr.org mpcs.com #nameserver 204.215.226.90 When it's present, the resolver functions attempt to find the non-existent nameserver and the system is toasted from the point where the bootup console message says "add net defaut:gateway 204.215.226.90" Forunately removing the resolv.conf nameserver entry and running named in a forwarded/slaved config fixes everything.
