I find nothing regarding "forwards" in named.conf

- The sendmail processes must be working "right" then.
- sendmail.cf is dated 14JAN05 (I made a slight change to it that day per
something I found online.

- I am not certain if the Java app is performing several DNS lookups as I
have to access to it.
- I can successfully 'host' the app server from the mail server (it is .220)
via forward dns but not reverse.

The client tried using the IP address of the mail server in their code and
found the same issue to exist.  Therefore it doesn't appear to be a reverse
DNS issue to me (at least at this point).
