In the PHP documentation for fopen (http://us2.php.net/fopen), there is 
a note from "simon at gornall dot net" which may be relevant depending 
on your setup. Basically, if you're on a DHCP lease which gets renewed 
and your DNS server changes, PHP can get confused even though 
command-line name resolution works okay.

FWIW, I tested out your script on my site, using both 
www.livejournal.com and 66.150.15.150 as the root URL; it worked fine. 
Does your script work if you use the IP address? (Cf.
