Some DNS issues



After installing the new server at BLU, we noticed that reverse DNS is 
indicating something wierd. If I do it on one of the BLU servers:
asgard.blu.org [2] dig -x 216.235.254.232
<snip>
;; ANSWER SECTION:
232.254.235.216.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN   PTR     olduvai.blu.org.
<snip>
But if I do it from anywhere else:
gaf at toulouse:~> dig -x 216.235.254.232
<snip>
;; ANSWER SECTION:
232.254.235.216.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN   PTR     vhcma.blu.org.

vhcma.blu.org is a CNAME for asgard (216.235.254.231) and one of the 
accounts we host as vhcma.org).  Out PTR records look correct:
230     IN      PTR     tarnhelm.blu.org.
231     IN      PTR     asgard.blu.org.
232     IN      PTR     olduvai.blu.org.
----------------------------------------
I'm looking for some ideas. Both JABR and I have looked at it. I've tried a 
few things. 
One other issue is that one of our secondary name servers 
(msb.significant.com) appears to be down.
