Yeah, that was it...had to IPL the VM that I was using to PING from.
Can the 592 go into SFS to eliminate this (or would it eliminate this)?

Correct. ETC HOSTS sits on TCPMAINT 592 and is read only by the
resolver
code in the applications. If you update ETC HOSTS, you should recycle
any
virtual machine that regularly resolves host names. This is usually
client-side code. E.g. the VM FTP server does not resolve host names,
but
the client does. Counter-example: SMTP - it is both a client and a
server.
