The ideas tended to revolve around DNS and inetd problems, with the
occasional nsswitch.conf. They were, indirectly: something completely
hosed up routing on that machine to the point where rebooting would not
rectify the problem. While it was able to get NIS information and mount
its NFS volumes, something later in the boot cycle messes up the routing
table. At that point it could not resolve anything but itself.
Restoring a backup has eliminated the problem, even if it failed to fix it.
