This might be your problem:

3dillusion.com A 198.109.162.43
tommy@oi:~$ host 198.109.162.43
198.109.162.43 does not exist (Authoritative answer)
tommy@oi:~$ exit

ie, you have no reverse namelookup for your host. Talk to your provider
about adding a PTR record for your host to their 162.109.198.in-addr.arpa
zone, so that a 'host [your ip]' spits out '3dillusion.com'.
