[plug] re: DNS lookup

[jlmiller at mmtnetworks.com.au]

Only 192.168.1.3 address, I do not have the other ( 203.8.107.47).  I used to use my ISP DNS server but even that address 203.8.107.47 as far as I know isn't his.  I've since last night made my server a master.  I did include a zone file for 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. So I hope now all is clear.  I will run another nslookup.

Thanks
