Comment 6 for bug 99459

[ for AMD64, I plan to go back to 32bit ASAP as so many things are broken in AMD64. That was my first try with a 64bit linux, not ready for my taste (I've been running Debian for 10 years, always the so called unstable, both servers and desktops, I was happy). Well, maybe this issue is not 64bit related. Nice to see I'm not the only one experiencing this :P ]

All my boxes are on an Ethernet LAN, fixed IP addresses (no DHCP), rock stable. No reason for the DNS lookup to fail, except if the box itself is killing its network parameters.
