Hi,

Can you please use WFetch from the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit tools, and set it
up like this:

Host: Ip of webserver
Path: /default.htm (or some other file on the website)
Advanced Request: Add Headers, write:

Host: www.other.org.uk\r\n

Click Go.

I assume that www.other.org.uk was the one that you are having problems
with.
Does this give you the page of the website?

I want you to do this to make sure that DNS lookup is true DNS and not
some forwarding service that does not send the host header field.
