How many is lots? And how often do the IP addresses of (outgoing) Mailservers change within a subnet? None of ours has changed in the last 10 years and our customers (mainly business customers) usually never change them, either. > Every one of them would need to upgrade their servers to > support DNAME.

If MTAMARK requires DNAME then RFC 2317 style delegations would require them, too. None of which is true. 1 CNAME 1.0/25.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa. works exactly the same way _send._smtp._srv.1 CNAME _send._smtp._srv.1.0/25.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa. does. No special magic required. One can even use BINDs $GENERATE statement for that. Unless I am missing something I don't know of any RFC that prohibits that. \Maex -- SpaceNet AG | Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Fon: +49 (89) 32356-0 Research & Development | D-80807 Muenchen | Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 "The security, stability and reliability of a computer system is reciprocally proportional to the amount of vacuity between the ears of the admin"
