I have a similar situation for one particular system...in my case, it's 
likely an issue that the name I'm monitoring is actually a CNAME, and 
there are occasional timeouts when querying the server that's responsible 
for the domain where the CNAME record resides. 

My guess is that you're experiencing timeouts with DNS queries. If the 
"error" states don't last longer than a single polling interval, that's 
your likely culprit.
