Problem with solaris machine with vip

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

I have one problem child in my group of Solaris 8 boxen.
It is the only machine with a virtual ip address, shared 
between two physical interfaces.  I have successfully 
generated a key and copied it to the policy host.  
Unfortunately, I am unable to authenticate.  What can 
I check to see exactly what is happening under the 
hood?  I've tried cfagent -q -v -d3 from the multi-homed 
server and I keep getting stuck on:

Updating last-seen time for <policyhost>
Loaded /var/cfengine/ppkeys/root-x.x.x.x.pub
cfengine:: Couldn't send
cfengine:: send
cfengine:: Couldn't send

<policyhost> is the dns name of the policy host
x.x.x.x is the ip address of the policy host
