Unless you're giving us a fake address, that system is on a private network
and probably behind a firewall or NAT gateway.
Make sure your network's internal DNS is working properly. Run `host
172.16.1.9' and `dig -x 172.16.1.9' on the host that is giving those
errors. The commands should return the remote hostname to you.
