Actually, I have been wrestling with InterNIC for some time now. A nice lady
named Christine is keeping me informed of the progress on entering my
machine into the InterNIC records. Seems that my Host Change request got
entered into one of their databases, but was not entered into another and it
needs to be in both. They promise that they will have it done 'soon.'
As for the secondary machines, Atlantech will be acting as my secondary,
(they had a hard time figuring out what I wanted, hence several phone
calls), so my entry with InterNIC should reflect that once they (InterNIC)
do the update.
On the recursive thing, I was using DNS Expert and it tells me:
o The reverse record "219.206.183.209.in-addr.arpa." does not refer
to the host "www.interrupt9.com."
The reverse record "219.206.183.209.in-addr.arpa." refers to
"dsl-219.atlantech.net.", but it should refer to
"www.interrupt9.com.".
There are several other entries in the in-addr.arpa records that also do not
match, and that was what I was referring to about matching entries.
Thank you for all of the help!
