All,
  I did some research/testing on this problem.  The issue is not a "networking" 
one.  32-bit applications are unable to resolve DNS names on Feisty AMD64 (as 
of 2007-27-03). Making a modification to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file "fixes" 
the problem.

From:
hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

To:
hosts:          files dns

  It appears that the libnss-mdns package only includes 64-bit versions
of the mdns libraries.  32-bit versions are needed for 32-bit
applications to make name resolutions.

  As a test, I manually downloaded libnss-mdns_0.9-0.2ubuntu1_i386.deb,
extracted the libnss-mdns* libraries and placed them in /lib32.  Using
the original "hosts:" entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf, name resolution
worked.

Thanks
Talus
