Works for me.  I get IP 66.23.201.84.  

# dig mx speedfactory.net

speedfactory.net.  3600  IN  MX  20 duke.speedfactory.net.
speedfactory.net.  3600  IN  MX  10 duchess.speedfactory.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
duchess.speedfactory.net. 3600  IN  A  66.23.201.84
duke.speedfactory.net.  3600    IN  A  66.23.201.83

Hmmm, not very reliable having both listed MX records on the same
subnet. <sigh>

Hmmm.

&gt; 
&gt; But some addresses just can't be found even when I have a perfectly good 
&gt; PPP connection. This issue doesn't exist in Windows (which I'm using 
&gt; now) so it has to be a Linux issue. Any further ideas on what I should 
&gt; check?

Assuming that SF isn't having issues, what does &quot;iptables --list -n&quot;
show?  Is it blocking mail/dns?
