Venus is trying to connect a server with ip-address 0.0.0.0. I don't
know why. Maybe the gethostbyname fails without returning an error or
something stupid like that.

A log at loglevel 10 (venus -d 10) might help, otherwise try
reinitializing venus or even put the IP addresses of the servers in
/etc/hosts and reinitialize venus (venus -init).
