My situation is this.
From outside my lan (aka internet)
nslookup trini0.org should point to my ip (setup via dyndns.org)
nslookup (my ip) points to my assigned ISPs name

According to PR 26744, I fell into the 'bad guy' category with how Im
setup.
dyndns.org cannot do anything about my reverse lookup, and I know
comcast, would send me to hell if I ask for cooperation.
So...that leaves me with blah.
Thanks for the chat/debate.
