Welp, what happened during my installation is that I had the thing configured 
properly for DNS, and it barked at me, telling me cryptically that I had 
misconfigured something.  BS, it's the same DNS configs I use on other systems 
here (primarily NT), and what was ultimately the problem was that I needed to 
add an A record to our internal DNS server.  Once that was in place, everything 
was kosher.  What was kicking my ass on this was that I didn't understand how 
this would have played out had I NOT had an internal DNS:  I can't believe I'd 
have had to have picked up the phone and said "Hey, keeper of the DNS records, 
give me an A."
