	Well this problem means that the ip's  207.217.126.81-83 can not
be reverse looked up.  You may want to add the names of the ip's in your
/etc/hosts file.  Something like this:

207.217.126.81           ns1.earthlink.net  ns1
207.218.126.81    	 ns2.earthlink.net  ns2


something along those lines.  that should fix the problem.
