I've had a similar problem.   I don't know if this is the same problem
you're experiencing, but you might want to try it.   The problem is
that the ruserok() function has been hacked in 4.2 to allow kerberos
authentication as well as the old .rhosts authentication.   In doing
this, a bug was introduced that requires that all the hostnames in
/etc/resolv.conf also appear in /etc/hosts - otherwise, the
authentication fails, even though BIND service is generally
functional.

I thought that this was going to be mentioned in the release notes -
did they neglect to include this information?
