FWIW, I am running a service that queries eutils.
They have a rate limitation, but I do stay under that, AFAICT. Maybe multiple bots from the same host, together, triggered a rate limiting mechanism?

I looked at `dig eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov +trace` and at `strace -f dig eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov +trace` - it looks to me like NIH's nameservers are not willing to serve labs?

The following tool has been running without problem for years:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/citation-template-filling/cgi-bin/index.cgi
Recently the tool has started generating the following error message:
Can't call method "findnodes" on an undefined value at /data/project/citation-template-filling/perl/ActivePerl-5.26/site/lib/WWW/Search/PubMedLite.pm line 117.
PubMedLite.pm in turn makes a request to “' https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi%E2%80%9D for data. For debugging, I queried the entrez server using an equivalent command in curl which generated the following error messages:
curl ' https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=1... '
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
I also tried replacing “eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov” with its IP address:
curl 'https://130.14.29.110/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=12345'
curl: (51) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name '130.14.29.110'
The same curl command runs without problem on my local workstation:
curl ' https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=1... ’

Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thanks,
