fopen very slow with http uri's

[Anon]

I have trouble opening http files with fopen() which takes very long if url contains host name. Specifying IP address works very fast, though.

Linux as well as php's gethostbyname() function resolves hosts very fast, so it's clearly not DNS configuration problem.

I surely appreciate if someone could suggest anything about this matter.

You allready gave the answer.

resolve the servers address with gethostbyname() before opening the fopen() pointer...

Problem is that I have to send request with host since it's a virtual server, and there's no other way for web server to know which server I want unless I do an http request with a host. 🙁

lol... that sucky 🙂
and calling the gethostbyname() function before opening the fopen() with the url isn't somehow chaning the dns on the server?

if not, i don't see a solution really...
must be something of the urlwrapper with takes to long...
