You are correct Paul - the dig command gives: ;; ANSWER SECTION thebrennan.net 56879 IN CNAME wc.traffic.puredns.com. wc.traffic.puredns.com 23661 IN CNAME wc.funnel.revenuedirect.com.akadns.net. wc.funnel.revenuedirect.com.akadns.net. 2 IN A 69.25.47.165 wc.funnel.revenuedirect.com.akadns.net. 2 IN A 66.150.161.58 with similar results for other domains on my server such as mi-server.net. Any ideas as to how to correct this and how it happened? Thanks, bob
