I've entered the DNS addresses used by PCs that have no 
trouble pinging both GOOGLE and my ISP by name, on both 
our main 400s, and did a full IPL of one of them. And I 
still can't ping them by name from the 400 I just 
Re-IPLed, although I can ping GOOGLE by the IP address 
that a ping from this PC just returned.

Given known-good DNS addresses, why would I fail to get a 
DNS resolution?

This is what CFGTCP option 12 (CHGTCPDMN) shows:
. . .
Host name search priority  . . .   *LOCAL
Domain name server:
  Internet address . . . . . . .   '151.164.1.8'
                                   '206.13.28.12'
                           Additional Parameters
Port . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   53
Protocol . . . . . . . . . . . .   *UDP
Domain name server retry:
  Number of retries  . . . . . .   2
  Time interval  . . . . . . . .   2
