libcurl uses c-ares and not the "plain" gethostbyname() function which
explains how they can end up differently.

Possibly it is a c-ares bug/problem, or possibly there's something that c-ares
wants/needs that it can't get/use when run from Apache.

Since it works outside of Apache, I have the gut feeling it is more likely to
be something related to how it is invoked within it.
