CURL error: Could not resolve host: license.interworx.info

Hi all,

we have two test installations of Interworx servers running on our local network. But one or the other keep failing doing the licensing check.

Naturally I have check all things listed here http://www.interworx.com/support/faq...license-error/ : The time is correct (via NTP), port 2443 is open, IP has not changed, licenses are ok and license.interworx.com resolves just fine. But still it keeps failing every now and then.

There's one thing I am not 100% sure about: Does port 2443 have to be mapped to the internal IP in our local firewall? It wouldn't make much sense to me, but I still like to check all possible reasons for this problem. More of a nuisance really, ~iworx/cron/license.pex --sync usually fixes this issue.

But this time it fails with the following error on one machine:
root@tarkin ~]# ~iworx/cron/license.pex --sync
XMLRPC error encountered
Code: 8
Error: CURL error: Could not resolve host: license.interworx.info; Unknown error

I can ping license.interworx.info or license.interworx.com and they both resolve fine to 207.32.181.150. So what could be the issue here? The other machine with exactly the same codebase wors fine...

Thanks

P.S. John, I edited the title, can you make that reflect in the thread title? Cheers, Mate
