The server names given in the posting are not in the sapo.co.za zone
visible on the Internet so trying to use them for zone transfers, at
least calling them by name, won't work.  I tried to reach some of the
systems by IP address but they appear to be unreachable - either
stealth-firewalled or simply not connected to the Internet.

I don't think remote debugging is going to be easy...
