Hard to believe that DNS is causing the crash - if DNS isn't working, then you will probably lose your connection to the network (but the system should still be up).

First off, you have server "A" crashing. You believe it to be caused by your DNS host - is the DNS host also server "A", or is DNS actually on another server?

Second, the message shows
Quote:
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
This doesn't mean you have to change the DNS hostname - it means you have to fix it so your server "A" can find/reach the DNS hostname.

Check that your /etc/resolv.conf is set up correctly for your network. Make sure you can ping your DNS server(s) listed in /etc/resolv.conf.

And double check what is really crashing your server. Tutorial - an intro to reading MAC OS X Crash reports

NAME

       Net::DNS::Mailbox - DNS mailbox representation

SYNOPSIS

	   use Net::DNS::Mailbox;

	   $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('user@example.com');
	   $address = $mailbox->address;

DESCRIPTION

       The Net::DNS::Mailbox module implements a subclass of DNS domain name objects representing the DNS coded form of RFC822 mailbox address.

METHODS

   new
	   $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('John.Doe@example.com');
	   $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('John Doe <j.doe@example.com>');

       Creates a mailbox object which represents the DNS domain encoded form of the mail address specified by the character string argument.

       The argument string consists of printable characters from the 7-bit ASCII repertoire.

   address
	   $address = $mailbox->address;

       Returns a character string containing the RFC822 mailbox address corresponding to the encoded domain name representation described in
       RFC1035 section 8.

DOMAIN NAME COMPRESSION AND CANONICALISATION

       The Net::DNS::Mailbox1035 and Net::DNS::Mailbox2535 subclass packages implement RFC1035 domain name compression and RFC2535
       canonicalisation.
