Axis and reverse DNS

[pa...@nhs.net]

Hi,

Can anybody help me as I have a strange problem, and I am not sure if it is
to do with Axis. 

I am getting an axis "unknown host exception" for a domain name, this should
resolve to a hardware load balancer that then returns the IP of the least
busy web server. However when I do an nslookup on this domain it is resolved
by our internal DNS fine and the IP that is returned is for one of the web
servers.

I cant figure out what is going on but as a guess I thought it could be to
do with reverse DNS, as if I resolve mhs0-int-X0087.mhs.uk using nslookup it
returns the ip 10.149.130.148, however if I now use nslookup to resolve the
IP returned (10.149.130.148) it resolves to a different name
(mhs1-int-X0087.mhs.uk), as the mhs0 is a css switch...

Can anybody help? Does axis perform reverse DNS and this is why I get an
unknown host exception even though DNS can resolve this name??

Cheers
