However, I've just noticed a flaw in my earlier post. The following is not legal, contrary to my earlier statement: *.websurfhawaii.com. CNAME frontier.websurfhawaii.com. *.websurfhawaii.com. MX 10 mail.websurfhawaii.com. *.websurfhawaii.com. MX 15 mail2.websurfhawaii.com. *.websurfhawaii.com. MX 20 ns1.lava.net. *.websurfhawaii.com. MX 30 lists.websurfhawaii.com. This is because you can't have an MX record and a CNAME record of the same name. My bad. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
