It seems that the browser is not at fault.  I can use the "host"
command and the result is that it can't look up the site:

[~]# host auth.proofing.statefarm.com
Host auth.proofing.statefarm.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

I am using a caching nameserver based on pdnsd and the problem
must be somewhere in the configuration for that.
