Hello Bing , I do a nslookup 216.112.83.100 , I get :
Server: ns1.tpl.lib.wa.us
Address: 192.103.195.1
Name: sohar54.sohar.com
Address: 216.112.83.100
Aliases: 100.83.112.216.in-addr.arpa
From another host :
Server: ns1.baby-dragons.com
Address: 199.33.245.254
Name: sohar54.sohar.com
Address: 216.112.83.100
Aliases: 100.83.112.216.in-addr.arpa
So something else you have changed or your provider finally
heard your update request got it working now .
