Well I finally located the problem myself. Turns out that the problem was
with NIS maps. We used to push out an alias map to all of our clients but
that file was deleted some time ago and the map had not been regenerated so
it was still pushing out an old copy of our alias file through NIS. The
physical map didnt exist so it wasn't immediately evident that it was the
problem. I created an empty map and did a make in the /var/yp directory and
all is well again.
