IP 12.225.249.250 <== dynamically assigned by attbi.com, but hasn't changed in 2 years. domain joshualokken.com nslookups for joshualokken.com are fine. They point to 12.225.249.250. nslookups for 12.225.249.250 resolve fine, but point to 12-225-249-250.client.attbi.com, so, for example, if I send mail to questions from my 'main' account at home, it gets returned, because it doesn't recognize jolok@joloxbox.joshualokken.com as a valid host. I would like to be able to maintain a mailserver for *@joshualokken.com, and have www.joshualokken.com resolve correctly. Now I'm getting 'unable to connect with remote host' when I point to www.joshualokken.com, and like I said, returned email from home. I'll gladly post more info if it helps.
