Strange cpanel issues

[dantium]

Something odd has occurred for no apparent reason and i can not work out whats going on, some help would be great.

Firstly i started getting some mysql errors, tables that crashed and need to be repaired, i resolved that by repairing the tables. Also I started getting errors in some PHP scripts trying to access different domains on the same server.

The main problem for now is the mail is not being forwarded for what it seems is all domains. I don't know if its some sort of DNS issue as the websites are working.

This is what i found in /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log

Some help would be great, what can i do to resolve this problem?

Thanks

Ok i checked the resolv.conf and the IPs in there stops being DNS servers for some reason so i changed the IPs to the 2 nameservers of the same machine and the mail is delivering ok now.

But still i have a PHP problem which would seem to be related to this:

getting some errors like this:

php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

Anyone have any ideas?

OK this situation has resolved it self fully it would seem after i rebooted the server a few times. However i would like to double check, is it safe to have the resolver IPs (in the resolv.conf) point to the 2 NS IPs of the same machine?
