I do have NM working and it can reach Internet and local networks after a reboot. The boot services order is NM, named, then httpd of which only httpd complained but continued running as 127.0.0.1, which means it is only locally accessible as well as other similar services as you pointed out. It is interesting that these services were unable to obtain resolver information from /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf and named and perhaps NM is at fault, but I am not certain. I used nslookup just after a (re)boot, set the server to 10.1.0.x, or to 127.0.0.1, and all DNS queries failed. I was able to connect to other servers with no query issues. All it took is to restart named after a reboot and everything is returned to normal, except for services/apps that depend on resolvers in order to become network accessible. This seems to be ok for now, I just have to remember to restart these certain apps after (re)boot or simply drop NM for network. Eventually I will drop F9. Thanks!
