One Domain; Multiple IPs.

[Kevin Darcy]

The problem(s) with the jeepunpaved.com zone aren't really relevant to this
thread, since only the delegated zone www.jeepunpaved.com is being served by load
balancers. Nevertheless, the jeepunpaved.com delegation mismatch problem has
already been addressed, and I've informed our web weenies about their
non-functional SMTP server. I don't care about the reverse record "errors" (and
in the case of www.ask.jeepunpaved.com, that's not our address range anyway).

Everything else you were already warned about. As far as I can tell, the load
balancers only answer A-record queries. That's their sole purpose in life.
