I don't know the reason why the error occurs and can't reproduce it.

Maybe the easiest solution is resolving your clients not with DNS but
with local /etc/hosts file.  If the /etc/hosts file is not desirable
to be added, you can use your own hosts file (/tmp/myhosts for example)
and specify like RESOLV="file:/tmp/myhosts,nis,dns,sys".

Cheers,
