Sorry I was just poking around really, I'll explain properly what seems to be happening..

Basically from bash I can lookup the address fine and it resolves correctly, however since some unknown date sometime last year the updater just stopped working, it was never really a concern because I only ran one server on this dedicated server, the otehr 5 ran on a separate server.

Due to lack of money I've moved it all onto the server that has the issue, and when the last srcds update came through of course gamedata didn't update, but then I had to run a local copy at home to get the gamedata and it was annoying thus why I'm now trying to find a solution..

not sure of how much it helps, but the mysql ext manages to resolve hostnames fine.. and so do plugins using sockets, so I'm not sure it is just the gamedata updater..

and yes I've done fresh installs of everything before and just can't resolve it..
