This seems to be true for the heavy test only.  Other potentially 
coincidental events include:
	1.  First test on a given node; when system reboots and a test
	    is again performed a successful test seems to be made.
	2.  The first test uses the FQDN and the second test uses the
	    IP address.

I have no idea where to look? The crash logs do not reveal anything helpful.
A message coming from SATAN says:
	bin/udp_scan: are we talking to a dead host or network?

NOTE: The hosts were most certainly alive prior to the test.
