No problem.

IP 12.225.249.250  <== dynamically assigned by attbi.com, but hasn't
changed in 2 years.
domain  joshualokken.com

nslookups for joshualokken.com are fine.  They point to
12.225.249.250.
nslookups for 12.225.249.250 resolve fine, but point to
12-225-249-250.client.attbi.com,

so, for example, if I send mail to questions from my 'main' account at
home, it gets
returned, because it doesn't recognize [EMAIL PROTECTED]
as a valid
host.

I would like to be able to maintain a mailserver for
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and have
www.joshualokken.com resolve correctly.  Now I'm getting 'unable to
connect with
remote host' when I point to www.joshualokken.com, and like I said,
returned email
from home.

I'll gladly post more info if it helps.  Thanks,

Joshua
