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...)
