>Description:
When I attempted an FTP install of the SNAP, it repeatedly reported
failure to resolve ftp.freebsd.org; but succeeded when given the IP
address.  Once installed DNS lookups through the same server work fine.

The success of the URL with an IP address would tend to indicate that
the interface configuration was set up properly.  (The DNS server is
the gateway, and I carefully verified that the address matched in both
fields.)

It might be related to subnetting - I use a 27/5 split with hellspark
on the third (205.179.79.64) subnet.

Responsible-Changed-Why:  
Sysinstall problem. 

Jordan: The originator hasn't had a chance to test this with 
later versions because the machine in question can't be 
taken down long enough to test it, but he does respond 
to mail on the subject :-)!

State-Changed-Why:  
Well, it seems to be working just fine with my DNS server and 
I haven't heard any similar complaints at all (and you'd figure 
I would if it was a generic bug), so I'm going to close this as 
a locally observed phenomenon.
