I finally had the problem reproduce. It only really appears to happen
to me when changing from wireless to wired (when I get
back home to my desk for instance).
In that situation, icecat would fail to resolve any hostnames. However
when I do "# herd stop nscd" like you suggested icecat immediately
starts working again. So perhaps nscd is being a bit sticky to which
interface it should be using?
