It stopped doing it.  No more bad DNS queries.  So far as I
know, I did nothing to fix it.  However, as you may have seen
on gmane.linux.centos.general, I have lost the ability to
manage the network from KDE 4.  Also, for reasons unknown,
it is using the second NTP server, although I can ping the
first.

I'll keep you posted.

Mike.
