running DNS (internal!!!) as a single entry. Doubling it does eliminate
this Safari problem—if you have a similar set up.

I wish I'd thought of it. If you don't mind, I will post it on the
Apple thread currently discussing the issue.
While not denigrating the efficacy of your solution, you guys do know
