have DNS show two IP's for one server

[Mike Ciccone]

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
I'm sorry the abc123.com... wasn't the actual server.  The actual server 
is www.mytwinn.com
Internally I get the following:

nslookup www.mytwinn.com
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Name:   www.mytwinn.com
Address: 64.78.154.27
Name:   www.mytwinn.com
Address: 64.78.154.28

If I run the nslookup from an outside source I only get one address 
(either one but only one)

For example:

I indeed see one IP address:

% dig A abc123.com.

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> A abc123.com.

Can you post the actual results you got, both internally and on the
remote machine? Because your description does not seem to be complete.
