Hi Tim!
The problem was that I had the yum host in /etc/hosts. That is why one machine was working and the other was not. I have defined the name server, but if the host exists in /etc/hosts, DNS will not be used. I am not sure how did that old IP address end up in /etc/hosts, but it was all my mistake. Regards
