Sounds like a dns issue.
Would your resolv.conf file be messed up?

Hi.
Today I updated our xymon server from Debian Lenny to Squeeze. After the upgrade, the NTP tests take a lot more time. We have two hosts that we test NTP on, and before the upgrade it took 0.2 seconds. Now it takes 8 seconds. This must have been caused by an upgrade of some of the OS packages/libs. Does the NTP test use ntpdate or some other application from the OS? Should I recompile Xymon after doing an upgrade like this, to link it to new versions of the libraries?
