A clue: from zeco,
   telnet  www.news-gazette.com  80

yields this:

Trying 192.168.11.11...
Connected to www.news-gazette.com.chambana.net.
[...]

(and lynx returns the chambana.net generic page).

Also,
    host www.news-gazette.com 

returns:
    Host www.news-gazette.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL)

while "host" for some other things, e.g. new.math.uiuc.edu,
return the expected result.

So it looks like some DNS-related problem,
rather than firewall trouble.

Congratulations on getting the new firewall going, Josh!
