Globus is right: $ host bigmac-lcg-se2.physics.utoronto.ca bigmac-lcg-se2.physics.utoronto.ca has address 128.100.190.42 $ host 128.100.190.42 Host 42.190.100.128.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) I guess that when you establish reverse mapping for your IP address to point to IN PTR bigmac-lcg-se2.physics.utoronto.ca, the problem will vanish.
