I've no idea what tutorial you were trying to follow, however, that particular host (identitysso.betfair.au) is wrong. You want the com.au version.

me@host$ host identitysso.betfair.au
Host identitysso.betfair.au not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

me@host$ host identitysso.betfair.com.au
identitysso.betfair.com.au has address 987.654.32.1

(not showing actual DNS resolution, since that's the point of DNS)
