When I tried to find the IP address for "db141.oneandone.co.uk", I got 
nothing. However I was able to get an address for "oneandone.co.uk" 
using the hostNameToAddress() function.

If the Rev database query builder uses the hostNameToAddress function 
before trying to connect, it isn't going to work for the host name you 
have supplied. What happens if you use just "oneandone.co.uk"?

When you connect using PHP, does it use the standard MySQL port (3306)? 
If not, you need to add this to the host name e.g. 
oneandone.co.uk:12345 where 12345 is my imaginary port number.

HTH,
Sarah
