I’m not entirely sure if ->load() supports loading from an URL. the Manual only mentions files from the filesystem (but does not explicitly exclude URLs). comment #3 indicates, that load() does not resolve DNS domain names.

if you have allow_url_fopen enabled, you can fetch the XML via file_get_contents().
