The obvious answer is that the DNS server (either the local recursive one
or the remote one) is suffering a temporary problem of some sort, or a
temporary network problem is occuring during the resolution. libcurl
relies on either the system resolver or C-Ares for its DNS resolution
(depending on how it was compiled), and passes any DNS resolution errors
on up. Using a network sniffer like Wireshark will let you see whether
these errors are legitimate or not, or (in the unlikely case) are caused
by some kind of problem in libcurl.
