I've acutally did some more research. Turns out that he only reason that I was even allowed to ping my name server, or what I thought was mine, was because resolv.conf had at the top: Search net Then below that, the nameserver addresses. I removed search net from resolv.conf and changed the hosts file to read as: 127.0.0.1 localhost 67.35.73.178 danielcproductions.net 10.1.110.101 web01.danielcproductions.net Hopefully I didn't screw anything up by making those changes.
