Full_Name: Erik Dykema
Version: 1.11.4
Distribution: Built from source
Client: Both (or N/A)
OS: Linux Mandrake
Submission from: (NULL) (216.33.200.217)


My IP address is 216.33.200.217
My DNS name is roselawn10.org

nslookup roselawn10.org -> 216.33.200.217

nslookup ( reverse ) 216.33.200.217 -> rtrs.goibsdsl.com ( my ISP )
because they are cache poisoning.

So, I tried to use the -s HOSTNAME server option to report my name to 
the metaserver as roselawn10.org AND / or as 216.33.200.217

Both ways, the metaserver web page still reports my name as rtrs.goibsdsl.org

I am trying to get my ISP to fix their cache poisoning, but shouldn't the -s
option work in the first place?  Either my local server isn't sending the name
right, or the metaserver isn't acting on it right.
