Yes! changing the line in main.cf lets things get thru to my
server cleanly, thanks for the tip. I still don't understand
what's wrong with my DNS files. Hopefully, other folk on-list
will see what's messed up.
Your domain registrar is having your dns delegated to 3 nameservers:
thought.org. 86400 IN NS ns1.thought.org.
thought.org. 86400 IN NS ns1.silvertree.org.
thought.org. 86400 IN NS ns1.twisted4life.com.
;; Received 142 bytes from 2001:500:48::1#53(b2.org.afilias-nst.org) in
32 ms
The last of the 3, ns1.twisted4life.com, is of the opinion that your
domain doesn't exist, given that it has no authoritative data and
refuses to do recursive lookups for the Internet at large. I would
suspect that this would result in the coming and going visibility that
others have reported. Basically, you don't exist a third of the time.
You need to make sure that all the nameservers you list with your
registrar are actually admitting to your existence and are getting
up-to-date data. I recall having this conversation with you before.
