I just attempted the command, (from an ssh session on frontstreetnetworks.net)

[root log]# nslookup @fsn1.frontstreetnetworks.net fsn1.frontstreetnetworks.net
With this response
*** Can't find server name for address 216.175.178.41: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available

This is what was in the log;

Then I tried [root log]# dig @fsn1.frontstreetnetworks.net
fsn1.frontstreetnetworks.net
with this result:

Why does 'dig' seem to work but 'nslookup' fails! Also getting-sending mail from
some of my accounts takes a very long time.
I really am desperate to find a solution to this problem, as I don't think my
reverse lookups are working.
