No, wait...  That seems a little strange...  If you do this:

nslookup commons10k1.mo24.107.34.126.charter-stl.com

and then this:

nslookup bruneworld.com

they both return as:
24.107.34.126.

BUT!, if you do this:

nslookup 24.107.34.126

you'll get this:

commons10k1.mo24.107.34.126.charter-stl.com

But I don't know where to go from there... It seems like the server is trying
to warn you about letting in unrelated domains, or that you've not allowed
access from "yourself," as I originally said.  Try adding a line in your
hosts file, with bruneworld.com as the first entry after the IP, like this:

24.107.34.126  bruneworld.com commons10k1.mo24.107.34.126.charter-stl.com

and see what you get...
