(Please forgive my slightly OT post but I figured there's a lot of experience on this list.)
I recently moved some of my apps from slicehost to webbynode and my new setup seems to be suffering from some DNS issues (that's the conclusion I'm drawing after several hours of googling.) The problem is that my app's mailers can't connect to gmail because they can't resolve the domain name. A curl or wget reveals the same problem. It works however when you specify an IP address instead of the domain name. In fact I've got my smtp settings pointing to gmail's IP address and it works fine. Unfortunately the same fix doesn't work with IMAP or POP (they time out). Other than this my app works fine. All my domain names load fine. I can send and receive mail (just not from my apps). Googling this suggests that I have a problem with my DNS settings and the culprit is either my /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf - but I've no idea how either of these should be set up. (On restart by server rewrites /etc/resolv.conf so I assume it's right - but who knows.) My /etc/hosts is 127.0.0.1 seamless localhost localhost.localdomain [seamless is my server name but I tried it without seamless too and with just 127.0.0.1 localhost and with my actual IP address] And my /etc/resolv.conf is nameserver 204.11.236.104 nameserver 204.11.236.105 nameserver 204.11.236.106 nameserver 4.2.2.1 nameserver 4.2.2.2 The only difference between my slicehost env (which worked) and my current webbynode env is that I now have 3 IP addresses for 3 SSL certs where previously I had one IP address and 1 SSL cert. Unfortunately I don't know if I was having these problems before the extra IP address were added. Any ideas or suggestions?
