Ok- I've contacted my isp about the reverse records.

I added an "A" record for foothillstrading.com, but still cannot send mail
to it. The mail server cannot find it..

Here's an interesting thing... (this mail problem has been there throughout-
I've tried different mail servers as well)

I just went into the tcp/ip setting on the server.(MacOS 8.6)
The Domain Name Server was listed as my isp's
I changed it to 208.1.125.162 (my dns server, also running web*4.1).
server restarted

EIMS could not find a dns address for itself...
I cannot reach any sites on my server from my other machines on the same
network (using the browser- I can reach them fine with file sharing,
etc...set from the beginning with dns record in tcp/ip pointing to my
server).
People were still hitting the server from outside the network.
I paniced, switched the Domain Name address back to my isp's on the servers
tcp/ip, but I still cannot reach any sites on the server through the
browser!

This sounds a little weird, doesn't it?
Could this be the root of my problems?

Jim
