Phil, I found it. /etc/hosts had the entry. I have no idea, or at least, I don't remember how this entry got there. Thanks for all your help! Eric

Look at the box you are doing the testing from and make sure it has correct DNS servers. The nslookup may not be using the same DNS as the box. It usually does but you can change it with the "lserver" command. I know you don't want to put the names and IPs on the list but if you want you can contact me off list with that info and I'll be glad to check it out for you.
