Since installing F10 (clean install) my SSH and telnet logins to remote machines often fail with a DNS error:

hu...@joss:~$ ssh xander
ssh: Could not resolve hostname xander: Name or service not known
hu...@joss:~$

However, the 2nd attempt a couple of seconds later succeeds. No other Linux or Unix machines here are having this problem. There is nothing about this in /var/log/messages, or in /var/log/secure. It doesn't happen all the time, either. Not sure where to start looking for something like this ...

I currently have NetworkManager turned off in init, and I'm using /etc/init.d/network instead, just to see if that fixes the problem (it doesn't).

NIS is on, but host lookups do not use NIS.  From /etc/nsswitch.conf:

hosts:      files dns

resolv.conf:

nameserver 172.25.9.81
nameserver 172.25.9.7
search hq.aldon.com
