Hi Owen, and many thanks to the help from Dan.

I've managed to trim down some of the list, I did a very silly thing
when I loaded the OS on this machine and the main beast.I own the domain
g8jvm.com, but I dont host it. I did what only an idiot with a hangover
would do, and named the main computer g8jvm.com.
g8jvm.com will resolve with a 71.x.x.x address, and I made the
situation even worse by putting the location in the cups config on the
main computer as g8jvm.com.
So when I try to delete the entry in cups it wants to go to g8jvm.com.
Luckily I did'nt start a local DNS server.
