well since i've never had the above problem i have no idea how to help you...
but i did find this link:

maybe your firewall is preventing your nameserver from resolving its own name?
also check that /etc/hostname has exactly the same contents as what you've
specified is the hostname in your apache.conf. i don't think that "cygnus"
is enough in this case, and that maybe you have to have the complete
resolvable name "cygnus.bondsa.co.za".
