The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

With some difficulty, I found out where Linux keeps the Host Table
(/etc/hosts), went into it with VI (the only other obvious choice over
an SSH connection was EMACS, and I haven't used THAT in over 20 years),
and added a host table entry for the requisite domain, and without even
having to restart anything, it all started working again. It still can't
reach GOOGLE, but who gives a #### whether a server can do so?
Thanks to all who pointed me in the right direction. The real key was
the page Mihael referred me to,
http://wiki.rpgnextgen.com/doku.php?id=problems_connecting_to_server
which clued me into the resolution issue.
Funny thing: others around here didn't believe me when I concluded
(concurrently with everybody else on this thread) that it was a DNS
problem, but to quote Conan Doyle's most famous character, "When you
eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however unlikely, must be true."
