Hostname could not be resolved by DNS

Hi. I'm doing a "curl http://<full domain hostname
designation>/cgi-bin/<some cgi script>" and getting a "404 Not Found"
response and a page that includes 'Your requested host "<that host I
tried to hit>" could not be resolved by DNS. (0204000057)'. So, curl
requires I use only the actual IP address and not the hostname? Is that
true or is this some known bug in curl?
Thanks for the help.
