Hi All:
 In the last few days, my AIX machine at school has been unable to resolve
reverse addresses for 24.67.xx.xx. All other addresses such as
24.64.xx.xx and 24.65.xx.xx are fine. What is strange is that
they all authoritative by ns1.home.net and ns2.home.net.
If I am from Shaw, I have no problem resolving these. I can
ping both ns1.home.net and ns2.home.net fine from school.
Can any one help shed some light? Below are a few failed attempts
to resolve 24.67. The last query is sucessful for 24.64.

Thanks in advance for any help.
