Escaping from MILNET to the rest of the world. Help...

Not being able to access off the MILNET almost certainly has nothing
to do with the name server.  More than likely you are missing the
proper route entry.  Try doing /etc/route add 0 26.0.0.104 (actually,
there is a list on the NIC of the correct mailbridge to use, but
26.0.0.104 will work).

This is evidenced that the name servers are working, you are getting
Berkeley's address, but the TCP connections don't go through because
it doesn't know how to route packets to anything but MILNET.
