I found out that when I add the requested domain to my /etc/hosts file (and
thus bypass any dns requests), curl runs and return just fine. So probably
the error is somewhere in dns/bind? My /etc/host.conf lookup order is
'hosts,bind'.

So I'm Still needing some help. Or thus this mean this is not an cUrl
problem anymore?

Thanks in advance,
