DNS failure exception by skunkweb

Hello All,

I have been using skunkweb 3.4 , with good response so far.

Lately i ran into a strange problem, In one of the pages i was
fetching data from an outside url,  (with urllib2 / python2.4) but
skunkweb kept giving "URL Open Error: temporary failure in name
resolution" , though i am sure dns-setting are alright and the same
script works when executed independently.
Infact it worked well once i used the IP in the target url.

Any ideas and hints why is skunkweb throwing dns-failure exceptions ?!

Also on a side note, is there any active development going on with
skunkweb project ? It is strange not to find mention of this wonderful
( atleast for me !) application in popular mailing lists/forums about
web-development with python .

Cheers,
amit.
