On 'sub1.othercompany.com' there is a simple php file with an include that
calls a script on my company's server 'sub2.mycompany.com'

The script on my company's server seems to work fine when I test it alone in
the browser(it generates some xml) but when I attempt to call it from the
other companies server as an include, I cannot access it. I *can* get to it
from the include when I use the IP address.

According to my company's IT guy there are no issues with our DNS. According
to the other company they are not restricting outbound access to
'sub2.mycompany.com'.

Testing something along the lines of:
$socket = fsockopen ($Connection, $Port, $errno, $errstr, $Timeout);
print "Error $errno: $errstr";

gives:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_network_getaddresses:
getaddrinfo failed: No address associated with hostname in
/usr/local/www/sub1.othercompany.com/xml/socket_test.php on line 25

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to
sub2.mycompany.com:80 (Unknown error) in
/usr/local/www/sub1.othercompany.com/xml/socket_test.php on line 25

Any thoughts on the issue? Are there any diagnostic methods I can use to
troubleshoot what the issue is?

TIA
David
