Aha. That makes more sense.

Well, I can't be sure, but while prodding around, I saw at least two
configuration errors, one of which might be causing your problem.
1. Your name server RR points to a CNAME. This is a no-no (though
don't ask me why), and it causes requests to be refused. Give it
an IP address instead.
> 209.76.130.130
Server: shellx.acroal.com
Address: 209.76.130.130
2. You don't have any reverse mapping installed:
> 209.76.130.130
Server: shellx.acroal.com
Address: 209.76.130.130
*** shellx.acroal.com can't find 209.76.130.130: Non-existent host/domain
Fix those first, and see if that fixes your problem. Please let me
know either way.
