The slug seems to think that ftp.uk.debian.org has an IP address of 
1.0.0.0 which is obviously wrong.  It should be 83.142.228.128.  This 
suggests that there is something wrong with the DNS setup, either on the 
slug itself, or on the machine which it is using as a DNS server.

Given that you're picking up your IP address by DHCP, what values are 
being sent for the DNS server?  What ends up in /etc/resolv.conf on the 
slug?
