[Zope] DNS lookup problem with urllib in external methods

[oivvio polite]

Have anyone seen this strange behavior.

 urllib.urlget("http://some-url")

works perfectly well from a regular python script.

The the same line will produce an 

  Error Type: IOError 
  Error Value: [Errno socket error] host not found

when called from an external zope method.


However

 urllib.urlget("http://some-ipnumber")

will work fine in that same external method.

Any ideas? Does zope use some special dns settings?
