Hello,

I’m experiencing persistent DNS resolution errors when trying to access `https://api-inference.huggingface.co` from within my Space.

My space is running on Nvidia 1xL4 hardware and I am receiving this error no matter which text-generation model I use: requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘[api-inference.huggingface.co](http://api-inference.huggingface.co)’, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: … (Caused by NameResolutionError: Failed to resolve ‘[api-inference.huggingface.co](http://api-inference.huggingface.co)’ ([Errno -2] Name or service not known))

I’ve verified that:

- `requests.get("https://www.google.com")` works from the same Space
- The domain resolves externally (confirmed via nslookup and curl on my local machine)
- Changing hardware tiers does not resolve the issue

It appears to be a DNS or routing misconfiguration inside the Space environment. Is there anyway I can fix this or try to resolve this? If there is anymore information I can provide please let me know.

Thank you very much
