As far as I know I only have two IP addresses and they are used for
everything. I'm not aware of any special "connection" IPs. Can you suggest
any way I can find out?

Gerard: I think you might have told me that some time ago. Thanks and please
forgive me if I'm being dim but can you suggest any other way I might
approach trying to find out if reverse lookup is broken/fixing it?

Thanks everyone
