With /etc/resolv.conf edited per John's example (subject to the changes 
I discussed in a posting just made), there's a long pause and then 
"unknown host."  With /etc/resolv.conf in its original form 
(dhclient-script generated), there's a short pause and then "unknown host."

I made that correction (it wasn't clear from John's example what that IP 
address was for), but I still got "unknown host) when I tried to ping 
lserver1 and lserver1.test.biz.

My resolv.conf, nsswitch.conf, and smb.conf are attached.  The nsswitch 
is set to dns only, now for test.  Normally it's set to files dns wins.

That much I'd figured out: I meant the aggregate4 of all of those, since 
that was the goal of John's set up, which included all of those.

How?  I can't switch off the router/firewall.

#
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# An example Name Service Switch config file. This file should be
# sorted with the most-used services at the beginning.
#
# The entry '[NOTFOUND=return]' means that the search for an
# entry should stop if the search in the previous entry turned
# up nothing. Note that if the search failed due to some other reason
# (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the
# next entry.
#
# Legal entries are:
#
#	nisplus or nis+		Use NIS+ (NIS version 3)
#	nis or yp		Use NIS (NIS version 2), also called YP
#	dns			Use DNS (Domain Name Service)
#	files			Use the local files
#	db			Use the local database (.db) files
#	compat			Use NIS on compat mode
#	hesiod			Use Hesiod for user lookups
#	[NOTFOUND=return]	Stop searching if not found so far
#

# To use db, put the "db" in front of "files" for entries you want to be
# looked up first in the databases
#
# Example:
#passwd:    db files nisplus nis
#shadow:    db files nisplus nis
#group:     db files nisplus nis

passwd:     files
shadow:     files
group:      files

#hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns
# hosts:      files dns wins
hosts:      dns

# Example - obey only what nisplus tells us...
#services:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#networks:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#protocols:  nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#rpc:        nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
