I've an isolated local DNS zone not connected to root servers on the internet. Could that be an issue here ?

Can you describe a little more how you've configured DNS? If you use nslookup to look up hansakdc1.svkhansa.local do you get the correct IP? Does a reverse lookup of the IP address give you hansakdc1.svkhansa.local? What is the contents of /etc/hosts? What does hostname return? -M
