Reverse DNS Woes

[Kevin Darcy]

Resolves fine from my servers and via menandmice.com's DiG utility. 
Looks like host.expresshost.net and/or the other nameservers you tried 
were having a transient problem at the time you queried them.

                                                                        
                                                - Kevin
