We found that disabling the Avahi daemon helped. The problem we found seems to lie in the fact that whenever we tried to do a lookup / ping for a host on the .local domain, the system would append .local to it again.

Therefore when we did:

ping ourhost.companyname.local we actually got ping ourhost.companyname.local.companyname.local

Just thought the info might help (it may already be posted but I didn't want to read through everything!)
