We're running BSDI 2.1 on a Pentium Pro and having the following problem.

Some domains apparently check to make sure a domain that is trying to
connect to them are properly setup or registered.  When we try to connect
to a remote machine that is configured this way, it does not let us in.
The message on one mentions a possible problem with the DNS entry for our
host.  We are properly registered, however, as far as I know.

Any ideas?
