D'oh!  I was pinging just the machine name and not the fully qualified name and it turns out it was a problem with the name service configuration file.

A line in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file needed to be changed from

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

to

hosts:          files dns mdns4

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction - I'm slowly getting better!

I think this is the place to start -- why is that domain name not
resolving on the client?
