I've played around a little with the contents of resolv.conf, currently it's 
configured so that it will query itself if unbound is running, otherwise it 
uses Google's public recursive DNS server at 8.8.8.8, and it only queries the 
AirPort if the first two fail.
As far as the AirPort goes, it's configured to preferentially use multicat, but 
it still works fine for unicast DNS as well.
What really has me confused though is that I don't have the same problem on my 
laptop, which uses the same network and DNS configuration.  Also the problem 
occurs regardless of whether or not I have things lik libnss-mdns or 
avahi-daemon installed, and when I query any of the name servers directly with 
the hostname it is trying to access (us.v29.distributed.net.), I get back the 
correct results.
