What were you trying to do?
Resolve certain hostnames, such as welcome.fleet.com
What's wrong:
The machines in M56 (and perhaps more; I'm not sure) have only
127.0.0.1 in the resolv.conf file.
What should have happened:
The hostname should be resolved.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
By adding the standard MIT nameservers (18.70.0.160, etc..) to resolv.conf,
the hostnames that were previously problems were resolved properly
