The name looks very odd indeed. Are you actually using a .cly toplevel
domain?

Which curl version? What operating system? Did the configure script detect
the proper version of the gethostbyname_r() function your OS has?

Can you ping the machine with that name?

Does this problem appear only on one machine? Have you tried from another
one? Have you experienced name resolving problems with other host names?
