Yes, but YOU'RE not reporting the domain guessing problem (if I'm  
reading your message of 3 December 2007 20:07:50 GMT correctly then  
you explicitly state the opposite).

My request for the results of `host jr` was for Jon Warms, although  
Mr Forster's reply (4 December 2007 20:05:36 GMT) appears to prove me  
wrong. I'd like to see it performed from within Verizon's network to  
be sure.
