As stated, this can be alleviated by using bind9 on the box you are connecting 
from as your nameserver... Literall just fixed this saturday night. Not sure 
why it works, but is a fix for my post on November 3rd (DNS lookup fails 
connecting to server on same network) but not to get off topic:
#aptitude install bind9
#echo nameserver 127.0.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf
#vim /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks/resolvconf
change:
make_resolve_conf() {
	true
}
to:
 make_resolve_conf() {
	false
}

...and renew your dhcp
#dhclient

This gets stuff working within your lan, and lets it work outside as well 
(perfect for laptops, etc)...
