Try putting that hostname into /etc/hosts. I just checked with my setup,
and without the hostname in /etc/hosts, I get quite the same message:

[Fri Jun 20 18:50:43 2003] [alert] (EAI 7)No address associated with
hostname: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "klamath"
Configuration Failed

(This is Apache2)
