That web site "http://www.whatsmydns.net/", seems to be pretty handy. My results (a picture) have been placed here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4086870&id=664267723 ... OR (if you do not have a facebook account [password] ), then you might need to use this "free for all" URL: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4086870&l=59c7504c82&id=664267723 (they call it a "public link".) Does this tell us anything?
