The problem is more basic than that, I can't talk to hosts on my local
LAN even when using their IP address (no DNS!).

In any case, I tried this using archive.progeny.com and the same result
-- Host name lookup failure, again this is probably because it can't
route packets to the DNS server to resolve the hostname -- not because
of any DNS failure.
