Drew, again, I had this same problem and have not changed my system at all.
I think the problem was on ZoneEdit's side. I could go and change the IP
back to the right ones, update it and then refresh and it would change
right back to the bad one....

I got the same response you did on the update. Update succeeded and then
gave me the wrong IP back.... Took a day to get a reply from ZoneEdit and
they didn't seem to know anything about it. Up until yesterday, I have not
had a single problem....

Really odd....
