Did I typo that one? Might have forced a message from the resolver I hope.

The 'domain' looked a bit unfamiliar but I had no Linux around to check. 
I'd leave out 127.0.0.1 unless you're sure there's a server running 
and properly set up just as cache, not as authoritative for anything :-)

Please do. You'll need to break into Apple's HQ or take a logic analyzer
to the hardware. AFAIK that machine should only use IPL 1,2 and 4 (maybe
6 for the offswitch). Only AV Macs use 3 and 5 for all I know.
