Is anyone else out there running servers on Debian Linux stable (lenny) 64-bit?

I don't know how long this has been going on, but I've noticed the following lines in my TF2 startup since the Halloween update:

L 11/13/2010 - 13:58:17: [UPDATER] --- BEGIN ERRORS FROM AUTOMATIC UPDATER --- L 11/13/2010 - 13:58:17: [UPDATER] Could not download "http://update.sourcemod.net/update/" L 11/13/2010 - 13:58:17: [UPDATER] Error: Couldn't resolve host 'update.sourcemod.net' L 11/13/2010 - 13:58:17: [UPDATER] --- END ERRORS FROM AUTOMATIC UPDATER ---

Having said that, if I'm at a command prompt, I can do this from the same account:

$ nslookup update.sourcemod.net Server: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: update.sourcemod.net Address: 208.101.51.250

Is there some library that the Source server, MetaMod: Source, or SourceMod is using to look up DNS entries that I'm missing?

I'm using:
MetaMod: Source 1.8.4
SourceMod 1.3.6

Edit 2011/05/09:
I'm still having this issue. I'm now running:
Debian Lenny 64-bit
MetaMod: Source 1.8.6
SourceMod 1.3.7

The error log is still there:

L 05/07/2011 - 00:09:05: SourceMod error session started L 05/07/2011 - 00:09:05: Info (map "koth_lakeside_final") (file "errors_20110507.log") L 05/07/2011 - 00:09:05: [UPDATER] --- BEGIN ERRORS FROM AUTOMATIC UPDATER --- L 05/07/2011 - 00:09:05: [UPDATER] Could not download "http://update.sourcemod.net/update/" L 05/07/2011 - 00:09:05: [UPDATER] Error: Couldn't resolve host 'update.sourcemod.net' L 05/07/2011 - 00:09:05: [UPDATER] --- END ERRORS FROM AUTOMATIC UPDATER --- L 05/07/2011 - 00:37:49: Error log file session closed.

I'll update the ssh DNS when I get to a computer with SSH on it and not just an FTP/SFTP client.

did you ever resolve this, as one of my servers runs on a debian host and has the same issue and I just can't work it out :s

Same here, this has been happening for a while now.

Make sure your DNS is resolving to *************.89.

[WindPower]

$ ping update.sourcemod.net                                                                                                                               
PING update.sourcemod.net (*************.89) 56(84) bytes of data.                                                                                                           
64 bytes from forums.alliedmods.net (*************.89): icmp_req=1 ttl=56 time=76.9 ms

It appears to be resolving to the correct IP

exact same here

What error are you getting from the updater?

[SirCole]

[UPDATER] --- BEGIN ERRORS FROM AUTOMATIC UPDATER ---
[UPDATER] Could not download "http://update.sourcemod.net/update/"
[UPDATER] Error: Couldn't resolve host 'update.sourcemod.net'
[UPDATER] --- END ERRORS FROM AUTOMATIC UPDATER ---

[BAILOPAN]

Not really sure what to say... there was a temporary issue with the DNS about a week ago, but it didn't interrupt name services. It was resolved, and all that changed is the DNS for update.sourcemod.net changed.

Maybe just update MM and SM?
