Search Again: MX records question From: Paul S Vail Date: Thursday, April 27, 2000 Time: 10:44:14 pm folks, I could not find an archive of the talk list, so will pose this question here. I host a domain for http, but the client wants to maintain mail services through another IP with a different hosting service. What special adjustments should be made to point queries or an address record to the other IP address for mail to find its way? Or, will the zone updates simply find my machine and the other machine automatically? simple table is: client.com. NS server.me.com. client.com. NS server2.me.com. www.client.com. A 111.22.333.44 client.com. A 111.22.333.44 ftp.client.com. A 111.22.333.44 Do I need: client.com. NS server.me.com. client.com. NS server2.me.com. client.com. MX 10 mail.client.com. www.client.com. A 111.22.333.44 client.com A 111.22.333.44 ftp.client.com. A 111.22.333.44 mail.client.com. A 555.66.777.88 (the other IP handling the mail serving) I'm sure there is reason to have the MX records and A record to redirect to the other IP (555.66.7.88), but I don't fully grok what exactly needs to be entered. I'm on digest so please CC me directly. Thx. paul
