I get the following back:

Non-authoritative answer:
aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = ya.mx.aol.com
aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = yb.mx.aol.com
aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = yc.mx.aol.com
aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = yd.mx.aol.com
aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = za.mx.aol.com
aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = zb.mx.aol.com
aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = zc.mx.aol.com
aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = zd.mx.aol.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
aol.com nameserver = DNS-01.NS.aol.com
aol.com nameserver = DNS-02.NS.aol.com
ya.mx.aol.com internet address = 205.188.156.4
ya.mx.aol.com internet address = 205.188.156.5
ya.mx.aol.com internet address = 205.188.156.1
ya.mx.aol.com internet address = 205.188.156.2
ya.mx.aol.com internet address = 205.188.156.3
yb.mx.aol.com internet address = 205.188.156.100
Now, which entry is preferred for the smtproutes file here (or can I just
pick one I like)?
