I "me too"; but telnet can't resolve anything, while the others work.

I have a current workstation, which makes world almost every night. It
resolves ok.
I then have my gateway/ppp/proxy which I regularly updates by nfsmounting
/usr/src and /usr/obj from the workstation, and then make installworld.

However, something must have happened, because as mentioned telnet won't
resolve anything.

(And perl 5.6 won't install either...)
