Not everything in Mac OS X is resolved through /etc/resolv.conf and  
there is a lookupd cache which in this case may have been in your way.

lookupd -flushcache

Yes, indeed that works.  Thanks!

Strangely, doing that puts "search mit.edu" into /etc/resolv.conf, even
though such a line in /etc/resolv.conf seems to be neither sufficient
nor required under Tiger.
