Andrew was apparently suggesting that the configuration issue he
mentioned is not irrelevant, and may be the actual cause of the
problems. Since he works for a domain registrar, I'm prepared to assume,
at least as a working hypothesis, that he knows what he's talking about.
At the least, I suggest it's wise to consider his opinion rather than
tell him it's not his business.
