#50807 [NEW]: getaddrinfo sporadically fails

From: skasun at tucson dot com Operating system: OS X Leopard Server PHP version: 5.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Network related Bug description: getaddrinfo sporadically fails Description: ------------ We keep sporadically getting this error: Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in [path to script] on line XX It has nothing to do with DNS on the machine. I can have dns_get_record return a valid response on the exact same page as that error. It's also not consistent. getaddrinfo works 90% of the time, but randomly, without any changes to the machine or the scripts, it will give the above error. Reproduce code: --------------- $page=file_get_contents("http://google.com"); Expected result: ---------------- The contents of google.com gets put into $page Actual result: -------------- 90% of the time, we get the expected result.. but then it will start failing and it may take several page reloads for it to start magically working again.
