Ahhh - I've run into this problem before. If I remember correctly,
the problem is actually with getting your name server IP to be
reverse resolved correctly.
I can do an nslookup on dns.threeofus.com (199.232.38.4), but I cannot
do a successful nslookup on 199.232.38.4. Some name resolvers
(actually, quite a few of them) get cranky about that.
Get reverse name resolution working for that IP and you should be
set .... barring other problems, of course. 8)
