I just modified the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to remove DNS.
I find it interesting that no matter if the hobbit server uses DNS servers
or local host files to look up the hosts the 'PING Test Results Sent' number
is still off the charts.
Thanks so much for getting back to me
Thanks, michael

Your calls to dnsresolve went up one, how in the world did you "[update]
the hobbit server to not use the DNS servers"?
It looks like it is still doing the exact same stuff concerning DNS to
me...

Thanks for getting back to me on this.
I updated the hobbit server to not use the DNS servers and all that does
is cause it to go from 100 failed hosts to 299 failed hosts.
I think it's the large "PING test results sent" number, what else could be
the problem???
Here is another printout…
Thanks, michael

If that was the only change you made recently try switching the DNS
servers back to see if the problem disappears.

Actually, I updated my DNS servers and went from 300 failed lookups to
100. So I thought I was going to improve….
But it got worse!!!! Any other ideas???
