W2K web server that can access (well, at least it can ping) external
sites by IP, but not by hostname.

nslookup shows that DNS is working fine and it can resolve hostnames
to ip fine. But, when trying to use IE, or ASP mail directed to a
hosted mail server on the same network (mail.domain.com) it will fail
and gives an "Unknown host mail.domain.com" error.

Incoming traffic works fine, but there are some sites using cfhttp to
access remote data, as well as posting credit card data through custom
tags to processors using hostnames and not ip addresses.
