Which is often triggered off by unresolvable hosts or DNS problems when you have 
the default 'ALL: PARANOID' in there.

# The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its

ALL: PARANOID
</snip>

I'd fix that problem rather than changing /etc/hosts.deny, might have incorrect entries in /etc/hosts
or some deeper dns problem?
