The problem is that the A and PTR records for your domain servers don't
match up. See the "Mismatched glue" section of your dnsreport.  

Err, scratch that.  I misread your post.  

 $host 64.164.28.194
  194.28.164.64.in-addr.arpa is an alias for  \
     194.192.28.164.64.in-addr.arpa.
  194.192.28.164.64.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ns.nextbus.com.

Is "194.192.28.164.64.in-addr.arpa" valid?


I've got the same issue with some domains hosted over at Register.com's
GPN (Global Partner Network) division.  GPN outsources DNS to eNom
(which is an excellent thing), but the default GPN DNS settings use
dnsXX.gpn.register.com which has a PTR to dns1.name-services.com.  I
*think* that this is OK per RFC, would really like to hear some expert
opinions on this however.

I still would like to understand this validity of this however. ;-_
