This is a very scary situation. Apparently sometime yesterday AM, James just decided that it could no longer find any external hosts. I get a ton of entries in the logs that say "can't find DNS entries for yahoo.com", sbcglobal.net, verizon.net, and a ton of other completely legit domains.
I know the obvious suspect is the DNS for the server. But from that same machine I can do nslookup and also bring up web pages for the domains James says it can't find. I turned on "DEBUG" level on all the logs and restarted James (not a server reboot, just bounced James). All of a sudden, now James is happy and finding everything. Nothing I dislike more than problems that just 'go away' with a reboot. I really need to figure out what could have caused this and what state James must have gotten into. Random problems like this tend to return at the most inconvenient times. If you've never heard of anything like this, still please tell me what I can do to start debugging it the next time. I'm very good at debug. I just need to at least know the zip code of where to begin.
