ok, I figured out the solution. The results of the above commands inside
nslookup were:
5.11.11.10.in-addr.arpa         name = acer.technobrat.net
11.10.in-addr.arpa              nameserver = edge.technobrat.net
edge.technobrat.net             internet address = 10.11.11.1

So that worked fine.
I then ran #strace ping acer - which reported that libnss_dns.so.2
was missing (I think this may have happened during a manual fsck
that was needed after edge needed to be physically bounced).

I put in the first CD of SuSE 7.1 and one
#cp /cdrom/suse/inst-sys/libnss_dns.so.2 /lib
later everything started working properly.
