Well, so perhaps that they are different problems?
What I think is a problem is that attempting to resolve
'ps_other.a.shifen.com' gets "Unknown host", here is a quick testcase:
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(void)
{
struct hostent *p;
p = gethostbyname("ps_other.shifen.com");
if (p == NULL)
herror("resolve");
return 0;
}
Cheers,
