Thanks for replying Matt and good catch on the nameserver IP - it was a typo. Unfortunately, I get the exact same connection error message from Heroku when using an IP that dig has no problem connecting to (e.g. Google's public DNS server 8.8.8.8):
>> res = Dnsruby::Resolver.new({:nameserver => "8.8.8.8"}) ... >> ret = res.query('www.abc.com') Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) >> puts `dig www.abc.com @8.8.8.8` ; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R3 <<>> www.abc.com @8.8.8.8 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ... Any ideas?
