I can't find the host in DNS. It might be that something's wrong with my
DNS server, but I don't think so. It wasn't the usuall endless wait. I got
error about nonexistant host in a second. This happens sometimes with
www.something aliases. Some people think it's enough to list it in
their local /etc/hosts file.
