PHP cURL consistently taking 15s to resolve DNS

Question

I\'m running PHP on a CentOS virtual machine under MacOS X, and any cURL request consistently takes 15s to run:

$c =          


        

Answer 1

There may be something wrong in your system, but I find a way to work around it.

$urldata = parse_url($yourUrl);  
$host = $urldata['host'];  
$ip = gethostbyname($host);  
$new_Url_dns_resolved = str_replace($host,$ip,$yourUrl);  
//call the dns resolved url instead of the original url  
$c = curl_init($new_Url_dns_resolved);
