I have a similar situation for one particular system...in my case, it's
likely an issue that the name I'm monitoring is actually a CNAME, and
there are occasional timeouts when querying the server that's responsible
for the domain where the CNAME record resides.
My guess is that you're experiencing timeouts with DNS queries. If the
"error" states don't last longer than a single polling interval, that's
your likely culprit.

Subject: DNS error
A couple of my xymonnet tests are reporting "DNS error".
There are no other details and the --no-ares xymonnet option didn't help.
Please help!
