Host name resolution problem

I'm running v3.2.1 on FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p13 with perl-5.6.1_15 and
apache-2.0.48_3.
Everything works well with the exception of using FQDN in the configuration
i.e.,
This is what I originally configured:
	Host "SH-ACIUS" {
		hostname:	acius.lsuhsc-s.edu
		Service Ping
	}
But end up having to use:
	Host "SH-ACIUS" {
		hostname:	10.1.200.9
		Service Ping
	}

I have:
1.	Placed an entry in etc/hosts
2.	ensured that there is an entry in the primary DNS zone with PTR

Can ping from the system with name resolution i.e.:
%ping -c 3 acius.lsuhsc-s.edu
PING acius.lsuhsc-s.edu (10.1.200.9): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.1.200.9: icmp_seq=0 ttl=126 time=1.194 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.200.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=126 time=1.119 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.200.9: icmp_seq=4 ttl=126 time=1.125 ms

--- acius.lsuhsc-s.edu ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.119/1.157/1.194/0.030 ms

The error log shows:
[2004/2/27 16:04:35] [52739] successful restart - Argus running
[2004/2/27 16:04:34] [52739] ERROR: in file 'cfg/050_servers.cfg' on line 362 -
