Thank you Silvio...you identified the issue.....we're a heavy VMware shop with lots of clones and systems built from templates. The templates work great but apparently my clone script is missing the removal of the osad-auth.conf file.
I did these three steps on all the problem systems: 1) service osad stop 2) /bin/rm /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf 3) service osad start All of the problem systems began responding correctly to OSAD requests. I also updated my clone script to accommodate for this issue.

This can happen if some clients are cloned virtual machines, cure is simply to delete those files and they will be automatically regenerated; - client tools version is badly outdated. After checking the above I would recommend a Wireshark capture to figure out what went wrong. At least you should be able to see if there are networking issues or not.
