Maybe you should take a small domain of the function and integrate it numerically. Then feed the same domain into Mathematica and see what it gets. Depending on the number of dimensions in your integral, you may want to check the help file to see how Mathematica can be told to show which points it uses for integration. If you are integrating in multiple dimensions, perhaps you could evaluate all possible cases of the integrand and inner integrals first (evaluate them at all points where they are not close to zero).
