The problem I have is that as soon as the TTL for whatever server you get your response from expires, your client will go ask nstld.com which will point to a duff IP address in Denmark (try pinging this address and you'll get a TTL exceed response) that I've never in my life heard of and within the next week or so I can no longer recieve emails, no-one can get to my website etc and this is quite vital to me.

At the moment my site is living on borrowed time! I need this resolved ASAP and have now asked for the guy's manager's name and number but doubt he'll give it to me.

In fact, as soon as the TTL for my MX expires on the GLLUG mail server I will no longer be able to recieve responses from here either...

Thanks
