Perhaps the problem lies with DNS then. Configure the client to disable
reverse lookups (ie, set "reverse_lookup = no" in the config file) and
try again.

recvfrom(7, ">-\205\203\0\1\0\0\0\1\0\0\7secmon1\6DOMAIN\3com\0"...,
1024, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53),
sin_addr=inet_addr("10.NETWORK.4")}, [16]) = 105

Hmm, I can't decipher this.  It looks like the opcode is 9 and the rcode
is 11, neither of which seems to be in use yet. Does dig reveal anything
interesting when trying to lookup this particular hostname?
