Thanks!

As it turned out, I'd failed to list the dns servers for this domain with 
my registrar (Joker.com).. that was part of the problem... I was able to 
fix the local problem (the one related to an unexpected EOF) by copying 
over a known working .hosts file and editing it...

Thanks for your help folks... 

Best wishes,

J.
