Upgrade Urchin5 from RHEL3 to RHEL5

Just a quick note about upgrading the operating system, or migrating your Urchin 5 installation from RedHat 3 -> RedHat 5 (or CentOS5).You think you've done everything properly, and you probably did. But you are getting some DNS resolution error messages like:
Geo-Update 5.7.02 (redhat_ent3) starting: 20091214 12:44:13
------------------------------------------------------
Local Domain Database Version: 1203444941
Retrieving Domain Database Updates
ERROR: (7066-211-368) Domain DB update failed
DETAIL: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'download.urchin.com'
------------------------------------------------------
Geo-Update 5.7.02 (redhat_ent3) finishing: 20091214 12:44:14
The solution is quite simple, but took a bit of digging to find:
# yum install nscd
# service nscd start
# chkconfig nscd on
# ln -s /var/run/nscd/socket /var/run/.nscd_socket
