ssh scary warning!
when I execute
$ssh host.domain.tld
the connection is made and no errors are given
however, when I execute
$ssh domain.tld
the connection is made and I get the following output
'Address pdq.z.y.x maps to host.domain.tld, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT!'
any ideas on what I've done wrong? I've waited the requisite hour for dns to update but still see this error.

I host my own zones and can control the TTL etc… but obviously I don't have as much control over the reverse. Since I use my own DNS server as my resolver too, I can flush my own cache in these kinds of cases and see the changes immediately, regardless of previously cached TTL times. If you're not resolving off of your own server, and using a different one, then you're at it's mercy. :)
