Here's a kind of stupid question:  did you try to hit it again? I've
seen a /lot/ of times when the DNS call will timout before a reply
makes it back.  On the second call, though, the name is all cached
up, and returns pretty quickly.
Its a growing problem, if I see things right... but I don't know what
caused it.  I started having this problem about two years ago, and
recently, its been happening on my servers at work...

<shrug> The Internet is getting too crowded...
