Build server, net access, buildroot -> problems

There is something strange going on, with the build server.

I can connect with ssh, and the web site is loading, however, any attempt
to apt-get update or apt-get install, fails, with a temporarily unable to
resolve hostname, error. I was trying to build mozilla-thunderbird locally
to see whats going on, and why im not getting binary rpm packages. However
I have not been able to do so since the server lacks libpng-devel and
libmng-devel. There is certainly something wrong though. The packages build
on build64.arklinux.org and www.archimedis.tv, but don't return rpms. The
package fails on build-p4.arklinux.org, in fact it fails in a different
spot if i try to build it on contrib versus main. the same seems to hold
true for the other 2 servers as well, which makes no sense. As monday both
packages built perfectly fine on all 3 servers, but failed to return rpms.
