    Info you asked for:

    1. Here is /etc/hosts:
    # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
    # that require network functionality will fail.
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
    #
    # Local stuff
    #
    192.168.1.1 mark.neidorff.com ja.neidorff.com
    192.168.1.16 ns1.neidorff.com
    192.168.1.18 mail.neidorff.com
    192.168.1.3 dan.neidorff.com dan
    192.168.1.2 kids.neidorff.com kids
    192.168.1.4 merri.neidorff.com merri
    192.168.1.5 bob.neidorff.com bob
    192.168.1.6 cybergenie.neidorff.com cybergenie CyberGenie
    172.16.154.1 vmware

    2. Mail to me goes to mark@neidorff.com and works (except for the "too
    many hops" problem)

    #host neidorff.com
    neidorff.com has address 64.36.121.2

    #host neidorff.com 198.6.1.1
    Using domain server:
    Name: 198.6.1.1
    Address: 198.6.1.1#53
    Aliases:

    neidorff.com has address 64.36.121.2

    3. neidorff.com is hosted at dyndns.org
    from the dyndns.org screen:
    host TTL TYPE DATA
    neidorff.com 60 A 64.36.121.2
    www.neidorff.com 43200 CNAME neidorff.com
    neidorff.com 60 MX 10 neidorff.com
