Forgive me if I am dense. According to the readout of "ssh -vvv gateway" 
the connection is made immediately. Does that not indicate that it knew 
where to go?

The contents of "/etc/resolv.conf" on all of my systems is the same:

[frankie] ~> cat /etc/resolv.conf
search hawaii.rr.com
nameserver 24.25.227.33
nameserver 24.25.227.66
nameserver 24.25.227.64

I even commented out the other 2 and tried each nameserver one at a time 
and it was able to resolve www.freebsd.org

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Again, if I am ignorant, please excuse me. Perhaps, point me to a document.

Thanks to all who responded
Robert
