Re: [PLUG] eMail Delivery/Domain Name Problem


Darren, this is fantastic info, but I'm not sure how to use it.

NerdWorld.org's DNS is hosted on ZoneEdit.com.   All the IP's point to my 
single valid IP of 71.22.6.96.   Both of their name servers are listed 
properly in my Register.com domain registration.

The IP's listed in b0.org.afalias-nst.org are not mine.  (although one of them 
looks familiar.)


Since I have a "Dynamic" IP, it has changed once or twice over the years, but 
it has been stable for 2+ years, so any cache would have long-since been 
flushed.
