To prevent getting into trouble, simply add require 'resolv-replace' on top of your to your initializers/exception_notification.rb file:

require 'resolv-replace'
require 'exception_notification/rails'

ExceptionNotification.configure do |config|
  ...
end

This calls the Ruby DNS resolver before configuring ExceptionNotifier so the DNS lookup always works as expected.
