Matthew,

I have found the problem, and it is a design problem in the Turks and Caicos 
Islands name service. Until it is fixed, there will be a goodly number of 
people who cannot send you email. I've made some special-case adjustments on 
the LUG Gallery computer to enable it to find hunt.tc, but this is not a 
good long-term solution.

I'm glad I hadn't gotten around to updating my own name servers to follow 
the 2007 Best Practices, else you wouldn't be getting LUG mail either.

Please pass on the paragraph below to the people who sold you your "hunt.tc" 
name. If they don't understand it, then they have no business selling 
internet names.

Current DNS Best Practices for the configuration of recursive resolvers 
recommend setting "delegation only" for all TLDs. Because the names in .tc 
are actually located in the TLD zone itself, there is no delegation taking 
place, and recursive resolvers that are configured according to those best 
practices will refuse to return most resource records from the TLD zone. 
This means that a growing number of sites will not be able to resolve names 
in .tc. The purpose of this Best Practice 
recommendation is to help prevent a resolver from being used as an amplifier 
in a smurf attack.
