Here is the answer I got when I posted the same question on the mailing  
list: (I do not have the answer for my last question about the

This is probably a name service configuration/connectivity issue.

You should check the "nameserver" declarations in your /etc/resolv.conf, and  
make sure that the DNS servers are reachable from your bro box.
