Could you elaborate on "die" ?

We get truck loads of them, and have never been associated with any
qmail trouble.

DNS lookups don't cause qmail to stop functioning, just defer mail.
supervise and qmail are different things entirely. supervise can stop
and qmail will continue to function. The idea behind supervise is that
it watches to see if qmail is running. If not, it starts it. If
supervise stops running all you lose is the process checking that
qmail is running. qmail itself is unaffected.
Are you sure qmail wasn't running? Did you find 'exiting' in the qmail
logs ? What else was in the logs ?

It wouldn't be a bad idea though I doubt it's related to this
problem!
