In response to the DNS lookup failure I was advised that removing the commas was sufficient to get things working, and have been reporting that fact to folks on debian-user. Although it is true that dpkg-ftp will now work, if the first nameserver on the list works, it will not make any use of the remaining addresses in the list. The proper method is to have one address per nameserver line. So:
nameserver a b c should actually be: nameserver a nameserver b nameserver c Which will exhibit the correct behavior. This will be fixed on the next set of base disks.
