[tap at vimes tap]$ host das_runt.shackspace.com
das_runt.shackspace.com A       216.254.0.48
 !!! das_runt.shackspace.com A record has illegal name

That's using FreeBSD 5.1R, outside of KDE.

[tap at gaspode tap]$ host das_runt.shackspace.com
das_runt.shackspace.com has address 216.254.0.48

That's from Linux.

So, it's either a really broken DNS entry (I can't remember the rules 
for records) or FreeBSD's resolver is broken. Either way, it's not a 
KDE problem.
