Sorry about that, the correct domain should be
www2.eddept.wa.edu.au. Sorry about that, I should be much more careful when
posting these things. I carefully check the spelling of eddept and forgot
to check the rest of the address. Once again my apologies.
cheers

Neither the domain eddept.wa.gov.au nor wa.gov.au is currently
delegated. That means that nameservers on the global internet cannot see
it. If I had to guess, I'd say that you have DNS records for that zone
somewhere on your internal network, and for some reason your freebsd
configuration is slightly different from your other machines.
Good luck,
Doug
