[ale] Networking problem.

I don't understand this behavior :  As you can see below, I can resolve "oboe" 
using 'host'. I can ping it if I give it a fully qualified domain name.  
However, ping says "oboe" is an unknown host.  In what *may* be a related 
problem, when I ssh to this machine, there is an unusual delay before I 
connected/authenticatec - about 10 seconds more than for other local systems.

Any ideas?

oboe.corbin.machturtle.com has address 192.168.26.150
