D@mn, I send 4 msgs on your topic afaics, and others did, too. That's a
lot of time wasted.

we did, we did, please choose one subscription name and stick with it. You
missed a lot of good help that last time.

# whois dns.jazzkitchen.com
Whois Server Version 1.1
Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
Server Name: DNS.JAZZKITCHEN.COM
IP Address: 209.99.71.66
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: www.networksolutions.com

DNS expert report sent privately indicates some serious cleanup needs to be
done in your forward delegation chain.
Reverse zone delegation for the ip block containing dns.jazzkitchen.com is
not with that DNS but with ns.texas.net. and they haven't set up your
reverse for you:
209.99.71.2 ngsmigrant.com
209.99.71.4 development.ngsmigrant.com
209.99.71.5 test.ngsmigrant.com
209.99.71.6 train.ngsmigrant.com
209.99.71.65 gajazz.gajazz.texas.net
209.99.71.129 mail.tflife.org
209.99.71.130 tflife002.tflife.org
209.99.71.131 tflife003.tflife.org
So all your efforts to set up your PTR records are for nil since Internet
will not query your DNS for reverse zone. Ask texas.net to delegate the
reverse auth from their ns to your ns.

When DNS Expert tries to check that domain, dns.jazzkitchen.com is not
reachable.

so can I, there's an A record for it.

no A rec for marcienothego.com, that's why:

You have MX for both marcieonthego.com and mail.marcieonthego.com,
good. So the Internet knows to which ip the mail should be delivered.
So let's look at why Imail won't accept the mail: what's in the Imail log
file when you sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]??
>The problem I have is I cannot figure out how to set up the DNS for the

I dunno, you've done pretty darn well on the DNS side, must be dumb
luck!! LOL Just add the A rec for to marcieonthego.com. Your DNS is
fine for mail delivery for that zone.

ok

not much, really. You can set up any number of domains, and hosts in the
zones of those domains, and you've done pretty much ok, I can't understand
where you think you are "doing wrong" at the DNS level.
>Any help on setting these secondary domains up on the windows NT DNS server

I think you may have terminology confusion:
.com is a TLD, top level domain
scott.com is a domain.
mail.scott.com is a host in the scott.com domain.
What do you mean by "secondary domains" ?
