SUMMARY: Too many hops for DNS

The solution was easy. Dan Riley's message (thankfully step-by-step!) is
the way to make it work:

        You need to increase the number of udp hops, which is controlled by
the inet subsystem parameter udp_ttl. You can probably do this from the
'dxkerneltuner' interface; if you're not a GUI kind of person, put

        inet:
                udp_ttl = 100

        into a file and then
                sysconfigdb -m -f [your file]

        which will update /etc/sysconfigtab, and will take effect on the
next reboot. You can adjust on a running system without a reboot via
                sysconfig -r inet udp_ttl=100
