That would be a forward DNS. WalkerSchools.org -> 168.11.208.10 You need the reverse DNS. 168.11.208.10 -> WalkerSchools.org ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Curtis Faulkner Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 8:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] [DNS] AOL, user, or me? Well, it looks like reverse DNS. Stupid me didn't realize that the receiving servers (AOL) look for a reverse record from "walkerschools.org" (the server part of the e-mail address) instead of "mail.walkerschools.org" (the actual hostname that connects to them). Anyway, when you do a reverse on walkerschools.org, it points to my www server because I like my users to be able to surf to our website without typing "www" before walkerschools.org. I've e-mailed one person off-list, but anyone with suggestions please let me know. -Curtis ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "R.
