Alexander and Kenneth,

Thank you.  I'll give it a go.

Alexander,

I believe I had to use the square brackets since bellsouth's mail server
has multiple DNS entries and multiple IP addresses.  

[bob at tweedy bob]$ host mail.bellsouth.net
mail.bellsouth.net has address 205.152.59.17
mail.bellsouth.net has address 205.152.59.16

[bob at tweedy bob]$ host mail.mia.bellsouth.net
mail.mia.bellsouth.net is an alias for mail.bellsouth.net.
mail.bellsouth.net has address 205.152.59.16
mail.bellsouth.net has address 205.152.59.17

Bob...
