Can someone tell me what all of these bad referrals, lame servers, and
findns errors are! I am new to the linux world.
Also, for some reason, everything will be happy on my e-mail & web
server, then the e-mail will just drop off of the world for a while, web
server is still on, eventually e-mail comes back. What's up with that?

Thanks for any help!
