That did it - I had somehow gotten a dual-entry for that box in its 
/etc/hosts and never noticed as my nameserver does most of the work. I 
still have quite a bit of work to do to get my old volumes loaded 
(backup and main drive crashed) but I think I can handle that. I have a 
couple other questions brewing, but Ill start new threads for them.

Ya know, it speaks volumes about afs that I installed my last server so 
long ago I forgot all the details!

Thanks a lot - JB
