Proftpd startup error

Hi,

I'm getting the following error when trying to start FTP on a web box. The configuration files are the same on multiple web boxes, but this is the only one giving trouble. I have web1.example.com entered in /etc/hosts, as well as when I do an nslookup it works because it is also entered in DNS. When I ping web1.example.com, it resolves correctly as well. I think it's just a problem with the gethostbyname() function, but I can't figure out how to solve it.

[Edit] - Forgot to mention that I'm running FreeBSD 4.9

- getaddrinfo 'web1.example.com' error: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution
- error: unable to determine IP address of 'web1.example.com'
- error: no valid servers configured
- Fatal: error processing configuration file '/hsphere/local/config/ftpd/proftpd.conf'
proftpd started

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Richard Bewley
