wget can access external sites, but unable to access local ones

[tamalero]

Greetings gentlemen,

I have a cPanel installation using Peer1(serverbeach)'s brand of Dedicated Hosting.

After some trouble with the OS which was resolved, I noticed that the Wget conjobs I use were giving errors.

Example:

If I do a wget Google
the process is successful.

but if I use any of the local websites I'm hosting, it gives an error.

failed: No address associated with hostname. wget: unable to resolve host address

Uname reports:

2.6.18-274.12.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Nov 8 21:37:35 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

using cPanel latest with Bind.

any ideas what could be cause?

Found some interesting aspects.. I can use wget to mysite.com but not to www.mysite.com

Without knowing your configuration I would guess the problem is in the resolver.
Check /etc/resolv.conf

should be looking for something in special?
I did review it a few ago and it seemed fine (it has the nameserver ips of my provider, aka peer1's)
