Correct - the IP is indeed 209.240.79.79 and does have a reverse DNS. However, forward lookup for the same domain will yield a completely seperate address since I'm still tied to domaindirect's name servers and using some of their redirection. I'm beginning to suspect that that's where the problem is coming from. Gene _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
