Sure, but I'm curious to know why. The names all do resolve to A RRs,
and pings to each by name did get echos back. Here it is, although I did
terminate the domain name by habit. Surely portsnap must not be so silly
as to pass unterminated names to the resolver. (Actually, I'm including
the whole output, not just the answer section.)

I also just now tried a "portsnap fetch" again and got the same
result as before.
