Our default nscd config caches lookup failures for 20 seconds by default (see =E2=80=98nscd-cache=E2=80=99 in the manual.) So if you look up a host= before networking is up, and it fails, then there=E2=80=99s a window during which lookup will keep failing. I don=E2=80=99t know if that explains what you=E2=80=99re seeing.
