I was using both, because it did not work on any Windows or NT machines.
It was all centralized around the FreeBSD box.

It was the main DNS server (on FreeBSD) that was unable to do the
lookup, and the MTA machine is configured to use our central DNS server for
lookups, so it was still getting nothing when trying to resolve the host.
