Thanks Patrick, that was an excellent suggestion. Hell, I should have 
thought of it myself.

Not nearly as self-LARTing as what the problem was. I had the IP address for 
this particular server wrong in the configuration entry for the host.
And it just so happened the IP address I did type in *was* active, and had 
many of the same services running on it. So most things seemed to work ok.

ANd of course when checking interactively, I was always typing the correct 
host name/IP address.

Sheesh. :}
