That's what you call a "good question". I've had my share of DNS
lookup problems also, and they are really annoying to track down.

I've ended up setting up a local DNS cache on my BBNET servers,
that helps quite a bit.

Of course, if you have static IP's for all your hosts, you could
just set them up with "testip" or run "bbtest-net --dns=ip" to 
avoid doing the DNS lookup completely.
