Here is a situation until today morning,every thing has been working perfectly fine with me. From past 6 months many of my domains wer accessible as

http://site1.myserver.com
http://site2.myserver.com
http://site3.myserver.com
http://site4.myserver.com

All these were Reverse Proxy configurations. I have some applications on each of them.

until today morning some people reported me that
http://site1.myserver.com/app1 is not working but http://site1.myserver.com is accessible
but http://site2.myserver.com is accessible
but http://site3.myserver.com is accessible
but http://site4.myserver.com not accessible

In past 6 months I have not changed any of these Apache configurations
(things were working perfectly so)

The error which can be seen in browser are while accessing http://site1.myserver.com/app1

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /app1.

Reason: DNS lookup failure for: myserver.com

and same is the error for http://site4.myserver.com

So what should I check in I have checked all the apache logs to an extent which I could see and
