This sounds like some sort of naming issue, reminiscent of not having 
NameVirtualHosts setup properly in Apache.

Are the names for any of these hosts in DNS? Not that they should be, or 
need to be, but I'm taking a WAG and guessing that if this machine 
doesn't have it's own hostname configured, it's doing some sort of 
lookup on the hostname and failing. Since it works on that one host, you 
can do a hostname lookup and see if that hostname is in DNS for some 
reason.
