What verify node name does ?

Hello All,
The last operation that Demand poll does, is to verify the node name. We have a 
customer where this operation 
can take sometimes (random) a long time (5 or 6 minutes to finish). In this 
interval, the netmon is locked or busy.
We have followed the netmon.trace file and, while the "verify node name" is 
working, netmon -a 3 does not update
the nemon.trace, and the objects status are not updated. 
I've not found what this operation does, and what daemons and databases are 
involved to try to solve this problem.
 
 
Another question. 
The command netmon -a 16 returns the SNMP Outboud queue to the netmon.trace . 
This command shows a list of machines and the times to start the operation. The 
frecuency is 15 minutes. 
What does this operation. Is it a demand poll ? How is it controlled ? 
 
Thanks in advance
