IOException getting whatsmyip.akamai.com kills deploy

[lashex]

After executing lein deploy-storm --start --name my-storm and letting it run for about 8-10 minutes I am continuing to run into the following exception. I've tried this with the master branch as well as the install-0.9.1 branch of storm-deploy, both without luck.

As I've not yet been able to actually deploy storm, any guidance or suggestions are appreciated. Here's the exception:
