Knowing me, that's highly possible.  :)

My DNS or their DNS?

For what info? Where 't.ns.verio.net' resides?

I am so lost, Rodolfo. Let me give you some info, who knows if it will help.
I have a handful of IP addies. 31 to be exact, and not all of them have
someone on them yet. The ones that do, have a PTR record set up properly.
Those domains are all resolving to my server... nothing hanging around out
there that hasn't propogated yet. So I *think* my DNS is okay.

I *think* what you are saying is that on a website on my server somewhere,
someone has a link pointing to a domain that's hosted on Verio. My server
tries to send them to Verio when they click on the link, but it can't do
that because where the domain is pointing - b.ns.verio.net and
t.ns.verio.net - there's no longer machines there with those names.
So, I think, whatever domain this is (that someone's linking to), that
domain has its Name Servers set up wrong in its domain registry?

If I drank coffee I'd be slugging it right now. I'm sorry, but I just don't
understand what you're telling me. Feel free to smack me with a (virtual)
sledgehammer.
