Hence Nikolai, your problem may well be that ns{1,2}.exa.com.au changed IP
addresses recently, and you were unfortunate enough to see inconsistent
results during the changeover (ie, they didn't perform the change
correctly).  If they persist past the refresh time, your best bet would be
to contact the name server administrators.

However, Greg, I'd advise against mentioning djb on this list.  Thats more
akin to advising Muslims to eat Dutch Chicken Pieces than useful advice.

I'm quite aware that one of my outbound mail servers runs qmail.
