>Description:
When I attempted an FTP install of the SNAP, it repeatedly reported
failure to resolve ftp.freebsd.org; but succeeded when given the IP
address.  Once installed DNS lookups through the same server work fine.

The success of the URL with an IP address would tend to indicate that
the interface configuration was set up properly.  (The DNS server is
the gateway, and I carefully verified that the address matched in both
fields.)

It might be related to subnetting - I use a 27/5 split with hellspark
on the third (205.179.79.64) subnet.
