Since the problem is on the client end you should be able to just add the 
IOC's IP address to your /etc/hosts file.  The IOC doesn't need a DNS, but 
the client library tries to find the name of any server it talks to thus it 
starts up a background thread which does a DNS query, and until that request 
times out the caget program won't exit.
