Bingo!  Thanks Les.  All systems use DHCP which updates the resolv.conf
file, and for some reason the CentOS6 systems had their two entries in
a different order then the CentOS5 systems.  Well, now that I checked all
systems, it's not a CentOS6 vs. CentOS5 issue, but rather just "luck"
of the draw, and my small sample size led me to believe that it was a
CentOS6 issue.  One of our two main internal servers appears to be
having some issues.  I'll have to follow up with CIS to figure out what
is going on.
