Hi Eva

I see this problem with our installation every now and then.  Our internal 
domain is "lon4.fastsearch.net" and we use a replicated hosts file for 
internal DNS. Whenever we see this problem, we do two things which always 
seems to fix it.

1)  We make sure than the FQDN is listed in the master hosts file  i.e.

1.2.3.4 machine.lon4.fastsearch.net     machine

2) We manually copy the master hosts file onto the affected machine.

Hope this helps.
