well i get these DNS errors while trying to ftp, or to WWW to
ftp.vni.com or http://doc.boulder.vni.com/
i've tried it from a couple of hosts, which are excellently managed.
why is it that no other host gives these errors?
i'd realy like to look at the archive...
could some one help me?

Guess so. Here's what I get:
% ftp ftp.vni.com
Connected to doc.boulder.vni.com.
220 Boulder.VNI.COM FTP server (Version 5.16.94/lentz): Connection refused.
Name (ftp.vni.com:robijn): anonymous

530 User anonymous access denied..
Login failed.
If I read this correctly, THEIR nameserver can't handle normal IP addresses.

Hmmm, I get the same error from ftp.vni.com, though no problems using the http
server. I suspect it's their problem.
I *know* that our nameserver is working.
