STFW for "Host not found, try again." -- it's a dns message.

There's probably a debug/error trap line in ntop that's causing the "problem
message" to be written out as it's received.  If you've got the -d flag,
then it would be a printf or similar function not a traceEvent() call.  no
clue where it's coming from - look in the dns sniffing code as a guess.

    Burton:  This is true, however I too have encountered this msg
and I use FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE.  I compiled NTOP using the 2.1.2 sources
from sourceforge w/o any mods and *NO* errors from the Makefile.  Warnings I
get, but no errors.  Warnings look harmless (most pertain to linking INTOP.)

    I'm trying to figure what's going wrong on my own (there are a couple of
other issues besides this 'Host not found' msg), but what I discovered is
that the ownership of addressCache.db is always changed to root w/ ea
invocation of NTOP, even though I've explicitly changed ownership of the
file and it's data directory to the nobody user.
