Yes, it appears there was a flaw in the setup of some DNS records which
caused a conflict between some enabled (but not configured) URL
redirecting and some "A" records. Should be fixed now, waiting for it to
propagate.

Shows the two printers we have as expected at the server hostname - I'm
guessing the clients get confused when looking it up though because of
the above error (at least I hope so, DNS debugging has always been
fun...).

Sorry for the noise (hopefully!), and thanks Andy.
