It happens when the box is configured to use a dns server in resolv.conf, and the route to this dns breaks. This leaves the box crippled with no inbound or outbound traffic possible. I would atleast think that services which is not configured to use a reverse lookup or dependent on dns in some other way, would work. but its not even possible to telnet off the host, using an ip address. perhaps i have overlooked something very simple.
