I get the impression that it has something to do with the hosts file being empty. Is it possible to see you're my.cnf? Is there something extra (like do you have dns running) in your hosts file?

The rhn up2date won't help on an 8.0 system - there has apparently been no fix as yet for it on Psyche. Either you can upgrade mySQL to a later version, or you can downgrade glibc. Either way, it's a bit messy, and I'm surprised RH haven't fixed it yet. Since the problem is with the resolver (I think), you could try adding entries in /etc/hosts for the machines you wish to connect from (assuming your search order is hosts first. I HAVEN'T tested this, and I don't know if it works round it or not, but I think I saw it suggested as a temporary work-round on the web when I was looking into it. Worth a try?
