My ISP's absolute refusal to delegate reverse entries for my domain and /29 net is the problem. They gave me CNAME entries instead of PTR records, and DNS lookups always pointed to the root servers as authoritative. This ended up with a loop, since once the recursion got to ARIN.NET, it pointed back to my ISP. I'll be changing ISPs soon. DNAI, which was a very good and responsive ISP has now been completely absorbed by the BORG known as RCN -- and RCN sucks! Some have suggested SpeakEasy.NET as an alternative, and they promise that they'll give be a /29 or /28 net and let me actually run my DNS properly. I'd be open to any other suggestions for SDSL w/Covad as the provider. I realize this is of little interest to those of you far away, so I hope those in the SF BAY area will respond off list.
