DNS Lookup Failure

[Valid]

I have a script that makes 1 http request every second, I have gotten the following error (which stops the script completely) several times:

Error: ENOMEM, Timeout while contacting DNS servers
at Timer.callback (dns:15:13)
at node.js:176:9

Any tips on how a patch could be devised for this?
It seems like any sort of EXX Error will kill the entire process.

I'm having the same issue, I can't do any http requests from node (and can't install npm).

I keep on getting

I've experienced this regularly when using a wireless network connection.

you should get these error on the 'error' event on the request object in HEAD. Closing.
