If it was a DNS problem on our end, what would you guess it might be?
commandline.net has no DNS errors, so Hotmail shouldn't be having any problem validating you in DNS.

The TTL on our end? Meaning we have updates, albeit old data, still in
our nameserver, which might be the reason that the IP's are not valid on
the Hotmail side...? I am not sure.
easy to fix, just stop and start your NS, which zeroes the cache of stale or poisoned data.

 I did a DNS report at
http://www.dnsreport.com/ and got good scores for commandline.net,
however, when I did it the first time it recommended that I set my SOA
to expire after 14 days, do you think that could have anything to do
with the Hotmail rejecetions?
no. Hotmail isn't "rejecting" SMTP-lyyou via a policy. You have tcp/ip "stack connect" failures trying to establish TCP/SMTP with ip's that your DNS is telling Imail are the Hotmail MX hostname ip's.

Can you have IMail use another recursive DNS?

Can you take the list of ip's and from another machine telnet to port 25 of each one and get an SMTP welcome banner from Hotmail MX?
