Nslookup and reverse resolving....

Rick,

  The whois on extranetedge.com looks good and nslookup works nicely on
www.extranetedge.com.  However, it looks like you don't have a default address
for the domain so nslookup fails on extranetedge.com itself.  The default would
be an entry like:

@               IN      A       216.23.130.150

in the zone file for the domain.

  Hope this helps.

               Guy
