If you mean "/etc/resolv.conf" and the "nameserver" option, an IP address 
is required -- otherwise all attempts to use the resolver library fail.

Have you tried running "tcpdump -i [eth0|eth1|lo] port domain" to see if 
it is a DNS query (and what the query is for) that is the issue?

Have you tried entering the host names and IP addresses in /etc/hosts?
