fails to initialize at boot time. It can also occur if a dnsflush is performed and the cache cannot reinitialize.
This failure is not fatal, and the cache will re−initialize at a defined interval. If you see this error message only
once or twice, the DNS cache must have initialized successfully during one of the subsequent intervals. If the
appliance continually fails to initialize the DNS cache, it will be unable to resolve hostnames and IP address,
and all email messages will be undeliverable.
