It's hard to imagine how PowWeb could have DNS local.whatever.com resolve
OK in PHP, but not from cron...
In a shell prompt, what does:
nslookup local.whatever.com
dig local.whatever.com
ping local.whatever.com
tell you?
Can you use wget to download the URL?
It really sounds to me more like a question for PowWeb than us...
I mean, only they can tell you what they've done to hack their DNS like that.
