The IP address for host edex.esci.millersville.edu resolves to a single 
hostname:

    -bash-3.2$ dig -x 166.66.65.219
    ...
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    219.65.66.166.in-addr.arpa. 28  IN      PTR     edex.esci.millersville.edu.
    ...

But the IP address for host edex-test.esci.millersville.edu resolves to 
multiple hostnames:

    -bash-3.2$ dig -x 166.66.65.102
    ...
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    102.65.66.166.in-addr.arpa. 3304 IN     PTR     gc._msdcs.muad.local.
    102.65.66.166.in-addr.arpa. 3304 IN     PTR     
edex-test.esci.millersville.edu.
    102.65.66.166.in-addr.arpa. 3304 IN     PTR     es.muad.local.

The ALLOW entries on our servers will allow .edu-s but not .local-s. If a 
reverse DNS lookup on the IP address doesn't return the .edu hostname, then the 
connection won't be allowed.

Can you reduce the canonical hostnames to one?

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
