Hi Fuz,
Can you resolve that name by hand with nslookup or host ?
Or it might be that you've put in your dns name (e.g. www.blah.net) in
hosts.allow, which in turn tries to resolve it and gets ip-53-53.jrmedia.com
back, it isn't the same and hence the msg. (Don't know if it really does
this, but it seems reasonable to do) try replacing it with your ip address then.
Gr,
