DNS Resolution Failures - External API calls timing out

Question

Hi Railway Team,

I'm experiencing persistent DNS resolution failures when my deployed Flask application tries to make outbound HTTPS requests to external APIs.

**Issue:** All external API calls fail with DNS resolution timeouts. The application cannot reach any external domains.

**Error messages from logs:**

```
Failed to resolve 'api.openai.com' ([Errno -3] Lookup timed out)

```

**What I've tried:**

* Multiple redeploys
* Verified the same code works correctly on local development
* No Static IP enabled on the service

**Environment:**

* Python Flask application with Gunicorn + Eventlet workers

**Logs showing the issue:**

```
ERROR:app.services.qb_api: QB Reader API request failed: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.qbreader.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/query (Caused by NameResolutionError: Failed to resolve 'www.qbreader.org' ([Errno -3] Lookup timed out))

```

The application starts and runs correctly - only outbound DNS resolution is failing. This appears to be an infrastructure issue with DNS servers in my deployment region.

Could you please investigate or suggest a region that has stable DNS resolution for external APIs?

Thank you.
