when
domain.com. IN MX 10 mail.anything.com.
then mail.anything.com must have a working DNS-entry (A record). If anyth=
ing
=3D domain then the A record of course has to be within the same db-file.
I cannot see why
domain.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain.com.
@ IN A x.x.x.3
mail IN A x.x.x.2
ns IN A x.x.x.2
www IN A x.x.x.3
shouldn't work. What exactly was the error message?
