  what is the output of `host 172.16.1.9` and `host <machname>` where
<machname> is the fqdn that the first host command gave you as the
output.  (The output of host should the first time be something like:
13.100.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer vermont.petrologic.co.uk
in which case <machname> is vermont.petrologic.co.uk)
