The system hung long enough to have timed out on every
possible DNS that it could have tried so it should have gotten
to one.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
We are more or less in a waiting mode right now as the
network staff on our remote campus check some settings on their
firewall. We know now this is almost certainly not a bind issue
as we have discovered many remote networks that seem to have no
TCP/IP connectivity from the remote campus but are perfectly
reachable from here.
We started receiving complaints about a week ago so the
hurricane is not to blame.
I will let the group know what happened as soon as we
find out, ourselves.
