How about using:

cd /etc
grep -r 'timesbysy.co '


to see if you've had finger trouble somewhere?

Come on folks, this is basic beginner sysadmin stuff.  You've most 
likely made an error in a config file somewhere, why not try looking for 
the most likely problem yourself first instead of getting people around 
the world to isolate likely places you've shot yourself in the foot.

Systems don't just screw up DNS lookups on their own, people cause them to.

Sorry if I seem crusty but you've caused me to stop work already to tell 
you to do stuff you should already know.
