NFS configuration problem?

Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.0.5-1
Severity: normal

caverns - Debian file server
snozberry - Debian workstation

I can't seem to mount anything on caverns from snozberry. The error that I get in /var/log/syslog on caverns is:

Aug  7 22:02:29 caverns rpc.mountd: snozberry. has non-inet addr 

I am almost positive I have BIND set up correctly, though, as I can mount NFS shares on snozberry from caverns. Caverns is the DNS server, though, so maybe I do have something mis-configured? If NFS is trying to do a dig on "snozberry." then that won't work because it's missing the domain (beefstew.net).

I manually upgraded just nfs-kernel-server and nfs-common on caverns to 1.0.5-1 after reading bug #202987. I, too, see mountd die on caverns after my mount attempt from snozberry. I don't know whether this is related to the problem above.

Please help.

To answer my own question, there was a line in my /etc/host.conf on caverns that was trimming off the domain name of local hosts. This yielded a name that couldn't be resolved by DNS - hence the error.
