This error is almost certainly occurring because you didn't specify a valid
IP address for a DNS server in start.py.

I realize that this traceback is a pretty crummy way of letting you know
this information ;-)

I'm looking at ways of making this warning better, and/or making ZServer
work better without having access to a DNS server.
