I've seen a similar problem when my CellSrvDB file wasn't setup
properly.  Make sure your syntax is:

>cellname.com   #Cell name
192.168.0.1     #servera.cellname.com
192.168.1.1     #serverb.cellname.com

If the servers are only hostnames, make sure your resolv.conf file has
cellname.com in it's search.
