Does /etc/resolv.conf exist? If so, what does /etc/nsswitch.conf say -
files first?

       mark


resolv.conf exists and nsswitch.conf has a following line:
"hosts:      files dns"

SELinux was in enforcing mode, but I didn't see any errors in audit.log. Still I have disabled it for now. 

thanks,
