Can you yet provide the content of /etc/nsswitch.conf (just the "hosts:" line) and /etc/resolv.conf (you can obfuscate the real IP addresses of nameservers with "1.2.3.4") from the machine?
We had similar problem report from other user who is however using "mdns" and "nis" nameservice - the problem seems to be the getaddrinfo() implementation and its backend. We were unable to replicate the problem with plain "files, dns" settings.

Hello David,
monit doesn't cache the resolved names nor nameservers - it uses the (libc's) getaddrinfo() interface to resolve the hostnames when necessary. Please can you provide more informations about the system so we can try to replicate the problem? (platform, OS, version). Do you use nscd? (name service caching daemon)
Regards,
Martin
