strange sendmail problems

Hello,
I experienced a strange problem with sendmail on FreeBSD 6.1
which happened during a routing problem on a network which
isolated my network from the outside.
On five out of seven boxes my logs started to show (capital names
used to hide real ones) :
Aug 30 15:53:13 MYHOST sm-mta[6247]: l7UAqbOp091438: to=USER@MYDOMAIN,
delay=03:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=618410,
relay=MYMAILER.MYDOMAIN., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Name server:
MYMAILER.MYDOMAIN.: host name lookup failure
Running an MX query with nslookup on MYHOST was correctly giving
MYDOMAIN mail exchanger = 1 MYMAILER.MYDOMAIN.
and 'host MYMAILER.MYDOMAIN' was correctly resolving the name.
The problem did not show up on two boxes.
All boxes run 6.1 and have default sendmail configurations.
The only difference that I can see is that the two unaffected boxes
run dhclient while the affected ones have static IP but I don't how
it could affect the issue.
Any idea what could explain this?
Regards,
Thierry.
