I apologize for asking about this since this problem has been addressed
before but the problems I am seeing don't seem to be caused by changes
in host names or the like. Two days ago dumps suddenly started to fail
on all but one or two machines.

immediately with the above error. The names resolve correctly in the DNS
forward, and reverse, so I am very puzzled as to what is going on.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before?
