Make sure your reverse lookups work.

If it is a real registered domain name, then ask the root-servers to see
who is responsible for your domain name, and then ask them who is
responsible until you can find out what nameservers to ask for the IP.

It is confusing when using fake domain names. Give us the real name and
we can check for you. (Or feel free to send it to me off-list and I'll
quickly check.)
