Yes, all of that is set (I just doubled checked :) ) The weird thing is,
when their server died the other night, our primary server wouldn't return
any lookups for their domain whatsoever. But the *odd* thing is, our own
secondary nameserver (which wouldn't be anything in this case as it would be
a tertiary namserver, and none have it listed) was returning all lookups
just peachy. This has me scratching my head quite a bit.
