Ok, After digging through my kernel config and finding that everything
looked fine (QoS was disabled by the way.. forgot to mention this in my
last post), I removed the IPv6 option simply because there is no need for
it. I recompiled and rebooted. Everything is working fine now. Sniffing
Mozilla-Firebird as it queried for postnuke.com proved to have the same
output as links did earlier. It pulled the A record of postnuke.com and
went straight to it.


Now.... whether this had anything to do with IPv6 or not I don't know. I
am doubting it... but for wahtever reason it works now. So I will chalk
this one up to a big mystery until I have time to look further into it.

Thanks for all your help in either case, bud!
