ask if everyone can resolve this DNS

[Richard T.A. Neal]

Actually our nameservers DO now resolve it correctly (guess I was too quick
to try it earlier!):

Do you also have an example of a failure?

| here's my db.iloilo.fapenet.org
| 
| iloilo.fapenet.org.     IN      SOA     sun1.iloilo.fapenet.org.
| root.iloilo.fa$
|                         12.16           ; Serial
                          ^^^^^

decimal serial numbers are legally Ok, but evil (there is a clarification
RFC to explain their behaviour, but it's very tricky). I suggest
you go with a YYYMMDDuu scheme where uu are
up to 99 updates per day (more than enough).

| 
| and here's my reverse db.202.134.244
| 
| 244.134.202.in-addr.arpa.       IN      SOA     sun1.iloilo.fapenet.org.
| root.s$
|                                 12.09           ; Serial

same here
