( name-service call wait ) event is amoung the top 5 wait events

Question

10.2.0.3 2node- RAC
When I check the wait event in the active session wait event the sessions can be see that they are blocked by the LMON process. The wait event appears only on one node.
It is very hard to find information on the net or on the metalink.
How could I overcome this wait event ?
select program, type from v$session
     where sid in
     (select blocking_session from v$active_session_history
               where event like 'name-service%'
     and rownum < 1000 )

If I use Google to find information about this
I ran into this page.
There is indeed not much to find about this wait-event, other than there is probably some sort of network communication problem between the two nodes.
Maybe the best solution is to raise a S/R at Oracle support
