David >Your backup server, dns12.dion.ne.jp, responds non-authoritatively, meaning it doesn't know anything about the zone. This is a problem that you should resolve - whoever administers that server should configure it as a slave for joyworld.com, using your server as the zone master. >____________________________________________________________________ >Chris Buxton Men & Mice >support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy > >At 12:37 PM +0900 10/10/02, David Campbell wrote: >>Thanks Chris, >>I think I have got it.

It appears that neither of the servers for joyworld.com have an authoritative version of the zone. Are you even able to get mail? Wait, don't answer that... ;-) >>> >>>I didn't find any MX records for joyworld.com (as implied by the previous paragraph), but in general, any name used in the data portion of an MX record should resolve to an IP address (i.e. it should have an A record), and that IP address should have exactly one PTR record, and that PTR record should point back to the name used in the MX record.
