Subject: Lots of getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution in my crawler using open-uri

Hi,

 I am working on a crawler, and I am encountering a large number of 
 getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution exceptions when I am
 using open-uri.  I am using a hybrid approach with a lot of forks and
 lot of ruby threads running inside each process.  Each of these is
 making a open-uri calls.  Is there something I should be doing to
 ensure the proper DNS resolution is occuring.  When I dig the sites
 manually, all of them return a proper DNS entry. 

 Secondly, I have tried the ruby resolver, and that gave poor resolution
 as well.  I have tried this on both my linux machine and OS X, both
 running ruby 1.8.4.

 Any ideas?
