It has resolved itself now, by the look of things.  Though I do notice that
it touches the YP server every 30 seconds.  Is this normal and is it
controllable?

15 seconds as per the sample config, and CVS of last weekend.  Note though
that in this example, icecast was able to contact the YP server, the YP
server sent back the error message.  It looks as though icecast kept on
trying to add the new entry, but as you say, it should have been able to
after 5 minutes.
