We have tested our DNS server in the exact same and did not find any problems. Amazon S3 names resolves fine.

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem with a very similar configuration file.

Previous proposed solutions didn't fix the problem:

• https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd/issues/683
• https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd/issues/748

Please comment if anyone knows what the solution might be.

@ofmorescale Did you try the latest MASTER of s3cmd ? Can you post your configuration file without the access/secret keys?
