Yay, two nameservers running on the same physical machine. Yay misconfigure PTR records. Yay HostMonkey.
Hmmmm, interesting Monkey design… But sound like it might not been too good? Based on the above comment at least.
Was on live support to these guys a couple of weeks back – They didn’t seem like the brightest apple in the basket. When I asked for a test file they said they would need to set one up – When I asked what was taking so long they told they were uploading it via FTP. I suggested they use wget. LOL

Hey. I think it is very rude to call the support guys monkeys. Oh wait…
