Comment 3 for bug 258262

Originator: NO

We also get these false coldStart alerts from our NAV installation. It
seems to be related to DNS; Every time we've had issues with our DNS
servers, where NAV is unable to reverse-lookup the IP of devices, we get
these false alerts. Here is an example (in norwegian):

First we get an alert like this (notice the missing hostname):

Boks xxx.xxx.xxx.2 (xxx.xxx.xxx.2) har gjennomført en coldstart:
Gammel oppe siden: 2008-06-04 06:45:17.196
Ny oppe siden : 1970-01-01 01:00:00+01

After some time (after the DNS server issues have been resolved) we get
the following alert:

Boks xxxxx.domain.no (xxx.xxx.xxx.2) har gjennomført en coldstart:
Gammel oppe siden: 1970-01-01 01:00:00
Ny oppe siden : 2008-06-04 06:42:22.741999+02
