Thanks for all the responses.  The original question was:

     As it turns out, my problems were all associated with BIND.  I had not 
     ran setup and configured my local Alpha to a CLIENT or CACHE name 
     server.  Therefore, hostnames were not getting resolved.
     
     Simple, but a key part of the overall solution.
     
     If you have additional questions, email me and I can go into more 
     detail or give me a call.
