This is having problems with domain resolution for a SMTP server one of my colleagues uses to work from home.
And just to clarify, this is happening with DNS lookups, not just traceroutes.
Any ideas chaps and lasses?
Thanks in advance

This is fine, apart from one thing - they missed a bit out.
They put in a
pointer record to pass a
forward-confirmed reverse DNS check however they forgot the .in-addr.arpa bit at the end.
Get him to flush his DNS cache, if the correct DNS information has been input since it should then work ok.
