RE: [cobalt-users] lame server?

["JK" <thejk@xxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I get the same messages too. It started happening after I
did a complete restore of the server. (and applied all the patches,
but that goes without saying.) One of these days, I'm going to go
through the list of IPs we have and enter one-to-one reverse lookup
DNS entries for each IP. I wonder if the DNS servers that show up as
"lame" do a lookup of the served IP to see if it does indeed match up
with the host name? Do you have reverse name entries?
