I have had this problem since a Vanilla CM3.  I've upgraded that by 
recompiling some components including beonss, although not recently.

Why this is a problem for me is that I have a SAN to some NFS servers 
which I access via a second ethernet card in each slave.  When I reference 
the servers by their IP address, all is well.  When I try to resolve them 
via /etc/hosts or DNS no joy.  This also applies to anything else (ping, 
etc.) trying to resolve the host name.

My conclusion has been that somehow the bproc hooks break the name 
resolution cascade so that only the bproc name resolution works, but I 
can't prove that with a patch :-(
