Incorrect handling of DNS-timeouts in chatbot

[winfried]

An timeout in the DNS when de bot is started or reconnecting leads to an exception. This exception should be handled properly:

impact: pollution of the logfiles, risk of a stopped chatbot. Impact is minor when DNS-servers are correct setup and stable.
