Hi Daniel, I built libcurl using cmake and the visual studio 10 x64 compiler. 
I'm new to all this so don't really know how I would have built it with a 
non-default resolver backend? A quick google points me at c-ares - should I be 
using that instead?

Thanks Jeff - I get a zonealarm prompt asking for permission when I rebuild & 
run my program. This only happens when it is working though (i.e. on the main 
website and not the subdomain). When I get the error message above, I don't get 
any firewall prompt.


Thanks again,

  Alex.
