DNS lookup fails connecting to server on same network

[Dan Lund]

How about what's in your /etc/resolv.conf?
maybe the /etc/nsswitch.conf just to make sure nothings odd?
It's a start.
even try appending a period/dot ( . ) after the name to denote it as a
FQDN absolutely.

Thanks,
Dan Lund

If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway,
and should fix your program.
