Don't know anything about Novell Servers, however
I've not had this problem with rsync but I have with email servers.

Use ip addresses in your rsync scripts

or if you can't do that

install an internal dns cache and point your resolver configuration to it.
then you can 'preload' the cache with ping so that rsync has what it needs 
straightaway.
