Ok, I'll upgrade PmWiki somehow then. (I say somehow since I've been using 
Subversion for the upgrade process, which doesn't work now that the 
server has problems resolving pmwiki.org).

Yes, all the normal tools work for me as well as long as I do it from some 
other machine... I was using Subversion to update the installation, but 
neither Subversion nor curl are able to resolve pmwiki.org any more :-(

I guess what I have to do is duplicate the entire tree from the server to 
some other machine, then update the tree using Subversion and finally 
duplicate it back to the server *sigh*.

Another possible solution might be to hardcode pmwiki.org into /etc/hosts 
or something like that, but unfortunately I don't have root access to the 
server.
