Another followup with AOL, I contacted Verio who bounced me around for 2 days and they finally sent me to the department who manages the DNS. They have been getting other reports and stated that AOL and Verio are having routing problems. I realized today that I cannot query verio DNS servers from my office, which has a cable modem through roadrunner(AOL), even though I can query my own. Unfortunately, the reverse lookups are done to Verios. I contacted AOL again today and the person stated my case is being worked on and Verio has sent something to AOL's email NOC. So anyone who uses Verio and cannot send to AOL this is probably the issue and hopefully will be fixed soon.
