Ok, first things first...You have *no* A records for your domain,
blackfly.net on ANY of the domain servers registered with InterNIC. This
isn't necessary, but...

The SOA Record on NS.WESTELCOM.COM has web.westelcom.com as the Primary
DNS, although it is the same machine. SOA's and InterNIC registrations
need to match identically, especially for Reverse DNS queries. If this
machine is not part of your network, then they shouldn't be carrying an SOA
record that states so!

You Inverse class of 74.215.208.IN-ADDR.ARPA has a PrimaryDNS of
NS2.9NETAVE.COM with a gargantuan Serial Number, but that's ok. I have a
feeling this server is not on your system? If it isn't, then you need to
get them to transfer the NetBlock registration from ARIN over to you,
otherwise you will not be able to make any changes to the Reverse DNS
registration. I say we start with this and I'll give you more help as it
gradually resolves...

Start with your SOA records and make sure your InterNIC registration has
whatever DNS Server you want as Primary listed as Primary, then make sure
your Primary has the correct SOA record and that you erradicate the other
mis-conceived DNS Servers. You need to make sure you have a DNS Server up
and operational BEFORE you register with InterNIC.

I left a message with someone at your office, feel free to call me back or
request a call back from myself.

I am using NT's DNS server and I know I have the reverse DNS (inarpa) setup
correctly as it does work. The only itch I have is the fact that
Microsoft's 128-Bit encryption download doesn't work because Microsoft
can't confirm that my DNS in the United States. I have tried it from many
computers, all with reverse pointer records on my DNS and even ones with
out. What could be the problem?
