I have 0 experience with Macs, but I've been trying to use "zeroconf" with Mandrake Linux some time ago, and run in a somewhat similar problem. I believe Macs use "zeroconf" type of DNS resolution per default.

Make sure your Macs actually use a real DNS server for name resolution, and see if the problem goes again.

Obviously I may be completely wrong on this, but it's easy to test...
