The problem is that reverse name lookup is not working.  Here
are the results on the machine we want you to feed from
(idd.cise-nsf.gov):

/local/ldm% nslookup poseidon.fisica.ucr.ac.cr
Server:         192.12.209.57
Address:        192.12.209.57#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   poseidon.fisica.ucr.ac.cr
Address: 163.178.110.222

/local/ldm% nslookup 163.178.110.222
Server:         192.12.209.57
Address:        192.12.209.57#53

** server can't find 222.110.178.163.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN

/local/ldm% nslookup cluster.fisica.ucr.ac.cr
Server:         192.12.209.57
Address:        192.12.209.57#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   cluster.fisica.ucr.ac.cr

/local/ldm% nslookup 200.9.33.37
Server:         192.12.209.57
Address:        192.12.209.57#53

** server can't find 37.33.9.200.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN

Is it not possible to work with the UCR network folks to
get both forward and reverse DNS setup for these machines?

OK, this is very surprising because I "hardwired" things on
idd.cise-nsf.gov to recognize poseidon.fisica.ucar.ac.cr.  I
did this by adding an IP <-> name entry in the /etc/hosts
file on idd.cise-nsf.gov, and it is setup to use definitions
in /etc/hosts in preference to those from DNS servers.  Given
this, I expect that you don't actually have a route to idd.cise-nsf.gov.

I have not tried to "hardwire" a definition for cluster.fisica.ucr.ac.cr
yet.  I want to make sure that poseidon.fisica.ucar.ac.cr can be setup
to work first.

Cheers,

Tom
