The only way to check really is to see if you can reliably resolve
the host name "183.248.182.61.opm.blitzed.org" from the shell you
run the bopm from.

Also check what the contents of the /etc/resolv.conf are - the
resolver in bopm uses all servers listed there in parallel so if
one is bad you don't notice in normal use but bopm will report an
error every time (even though the other lookup would work).

If it isn't a frequent occurence then you can just write it off as
"one of those things".
