Thus my ploy of changing the resolv file to reflect either 8.8.8.8 or one of the DNS servers listed in my router (from the ISP) works.. sorta.  Open to any and all better solutions.

Use https://use.opendns.com/ since Google will occasionally err 
depending on several factors:*

*# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

After editing resolv.conf then change the attribute to make it immutable 
so it doesn't get overwritten by the router if using dhcp:

# chattr +i  /etc/resolv.conf

... and verify:

# lsattr /etc/resolv.conf
----i---------e---- /etc/resolv.conf
