These machines are on our LAN and the IP addresses are not resolvable
outside our firewall.

That would probably work, but I am trying to use the login embedded in
a .netrc file and not expose it.

I should have mentioned in my original problem statement:

spjsf_at_infodev1:~> curl --version
curl 7.10.3 (sparc-sun-solaris2.10) libcurl/7.10.3 zlib/1.2.3

I should have also mentioned that this command, leveraging the .netrc
file, works from a different host with a different version of curl.

spjsf_at_dscript1:~> curl --version
curl 7.19.6 (hppa64-hp-hpux11.31) libcurl/7.19.6 OpenSSL/0.9.8k zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz
