Hi, thanks!
Well, I went back to the kernel config I was using before the 
migration and it still won't work --  I can query the nameserver from 
other hosts, but I nor processes on the machine can "look itself up" 
-- it's like something changed in the way loopbacks work or something 
since 2.1.

ifconfig -a reports for the loopback:
lo0: flags=8008<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
hmm, does'nt say that it UP in <brackets> like I believe it should.
Any more ideas?!

TIA!
