A couple of questions for you. Do you have iptables running?? If so are
you allowing posr 53 (dns) outbound?? Run "iptables-save" tp see your rules.
What is in /etc/resolv.conf?? Are the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf reachable.
Generally speaking if you cannot reach a site by name but can reach it by ip
address then you have some kind of dns problem. What did you try to do to
"thwart the verisign catchall thing"
HTH,
