I tried, but failed to get the resolv.conf file to update to include my EasyDNS name servers. But for some reason, fiddling with this, and trying out Resolv directly in a Ruby test script seemed to jar something loose, and the previously hidden host is now being found by the Net::HTTP command, and all is just working. I hate when that happens, I wish there was something I could learn from this and apply again in future.
