[geeks] Weird DNS problem

[Ido Dubrawsky]

I believe I found the problem.  It's a combination of making unsynchronized 
changes to my DNS between the two DNS servers I have access to as well as 
Bill's server being a secondary -- but in the role of a master and not a 
slave.  When I moved from Austin, TX. to Silver Spring, MD. Bill was kind
enough to host my DNS and mail and I guess we've never coordinated converting
his server to being a slave to mine.  It's not a big deal...it'll wait till
Bill has fully recovered.  I've fixed most of the wonky things on my end at
this point and things appear to be working from most of the Internet.
