The system function gethostbyname() failed to find the client's host name

As we are facing issue with this server connection. The error is:
The system function gethostbyname() failed to find the client's host name.


how can i check if the server "server1" is able to resolve the client hostname (hosts / dns)?



i can ping the client from server.


any idea with regards to the error?


Thanks
