I ran into it just yesterday.

I was walking a newb in our IT department through setting up a server, and
he used all caps for the domain.tld portion of the server name -
testbed.ZETRON.COM. 

Had the same problem as you describe. Edited the /etc/rc.conf, had him
reboot and try again, and it worked just fine.
