thanks for the suggestion. i checked, and this is the case.
right now the most likely candidate is the fact that i did
not yet set up the in-addr.arpa file. i'm trying to read up on
how to set that up.
actually right now i'm building a new firewall because we had
a power outage yesterday which killed my old one. who knows
what will or won't work after this exercise.
thanks again,
michael
