Here is the DNS error:
# nslookup dhamma.metta.lk
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: metta.lk
Address: 204.143.107.46
Aliases: dhamma.metta.lk
# nslookup 204.143.107.46
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
*** localhost can't find 204.143.107.46: Non-existent host/domain
This means the reverse DNS is not set. You may not have any means to do
this either (some ISP's want full control over the reverse DNS). So if
you contact your ISP, they may be able to update (O.K., create) your
entry.
