Yes to .local DNS suffix, no to avahi, part of the reasons I like 
FreeBSD it doesn't assume you can't configure a network and try to use 
annoying network management and auto-configuration utilities like this 
unless you intentionally install them.

There was an update to automake and getttext that I installed Sunday, 
and reinstalled Bacula. Those updates were also done on the web server 
running webacula where the bconsole utility still works resolving host 
names.

I also restarted the bacula services opened bconsole and kicked off a 
test database backup after the update, and the backups that run Monday 
morning ran without a hitch. Then Monday night when I went to login 
after switching my external hard drive for the new week that's when the  
problems were noticeable. At first it connected, just horribly slow. 
After a restart of all the Bacula services, I could no longer connect 
with bconsole on the local machine.
