Strange message in logs

[Robert Ruzbacky <robr@majoreng.com.au>]

Hi!

I get the following error messages in my log:

Apr  9 06:47:39 ns tcp-env[17281]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 11: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(114.trusted.net) failed
Apr  9 06:47:40 ns tcp-env[17281]: refused connect from 209.140.0.114
Apr  9 06:56:54 ns tcp-env[17346]: connect from murphy.debian.org
Apr  9 06:58:38 ns tcp-env[17364]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 11: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(114.trusted.net) failed
Apr  9 06:58:38 ns tcp-env[17364]: refused connect from 209.140.0.114


Is this because my hosts.deny file is set to ALL: PARANOID 

(this is the only line apart from comments and is line 9)


My hosts.allow has the following in line 11:

ALL: .mydomain.com.au

Is there a way to "fix" this, as I am assuming that the machine that is denied access cannot
access my server to browse a web page or send e-mail.  This message seems to crop up when someone tries to send email mainly.

I am running Debian 1.3 (but some parts are Hamm (eg: libraries are lib.so.6), apache and qmail.
