For some reason I thought 'host' would resolve an IP address and _then_ perform the PTR lookup. I don't know what I was smoking. $ host -t ptr 24.9.218.175 175.218.9.24.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer ci590846-b.lxintn1.ky.home.com Is correct. Thus I follow through... $ host -t mx freebsdportal.com. freebsdportal.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.freebsdportal.com $ host mail.freebsdportal.com. mail.freebsdportal.com is a nickname for freebsdportal.com freebsdportal.com has address 24.9.218.175 freebsdportal.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.freebsdportal.com So it is the cname goofiness and not a lack of PTR that was causing the problem.
