Yes (well, no, not really), but that's a separate problem. The reason I say no, not really, is that you could also have your provider (or their provider) implement your desired reverse records on their servers, rather than having them delegate the reverse records for your IP addresses to your servers. >Below here is Basically just info in reply to your thinking out loud... > >> From your description, it sounds as if you have 3 different servers, >> and each has exactly one IP address (total for internal and public). >That is correct. > >> If this is so, then the problem is most likely either in your Netopia >> router or your provider's router (at the other end of your line). > >Did a firmware upgrade and did minimium install of routing info in the >Netopia on Thursday Which leaves two possibilities of this type: A bug in the Netopia firmware (or hardware) and a misconfiguration in your provider's router. Frankly, I'm not sure what kind of routing problem could cause this sort of thing. But then, I haven't configured a router in years. >>(It could also, of course, be your switch or hub, or your network cables.) >Actually replaced a hub with a switch last Monday to try to fix the problem. >Also moved the 214 box to the same switch as the 213 box and gave the 214 >box a new cat5 cable.
