Hi Lucas,

Looks like a DNS issue to me.  Is the server running DNS (bind)?  Do you 
have another DNS server on your network or is your modem/router 
configured to  supply DNS info?

What are the DNS settings you are using on the server (Network 
Manager?)....   Auto or manual DNS?

What does /etc/resolv.conf look like?

-Peter.
