According to http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html, error 
code 6 is:

   CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6)

   Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.

Sounds like a DNS config problem on your server... can you double-check 
your network settings?

Did you try opening the URL using I.E. (or wget if it's Linux) directly 
on the server that produces the error?
