domain

Hi guys,

I was checking out my reverse-DNS entry of my domain the other day which is run from a dedicated server.

I noticed that another person/company had their domain pointing to my server? I have no idea who this company is or why they are pointing their domain at my server IP?

How can I go about stopping this or forcing them to change?
