We have replacement dns code that I wanted to get more testing on before
putting it out, so I'll put up a test build for you to try.
I'm wondering about one of your local dns servers not giving you the correct
results. What software is running the DNS on each of your servers? We have
bind 8 running on one gateway, and bind 9 running elsewhere. The whole
point of the DNS is for the server to do that work, not the client. James
is just a DNS client.

Thanks for the response Noel,
Its not clear to me that just letting the dns library try again solves the
problem. I'm having this problem with a number of domains and as a result,
getting a lot of emails bounced back as undeliverable due to this reason.
To me, it seems like either i've really messed up my config, or its a bug
with the DNSServer class. And after stepping through the code, i'm leaning
towards the latter.
IMHO (i'm just a james-newbie, so i'm quite likely to be mistaken), i feel
that if the DNS records come back with no answers, but some authoritative
sources for MX records, those returned authoritative sources should be
queried instead of querying the exact same source.
Regards,
