Off topic: MX entry and ISP
Hi all, I posted a mail sometime back I think it has not reached most of the gusy there was no response from anyone. How the MX entry and the www entry of a dns server go together when the mail server and the web hosting server are with two different ISPs of different locations. I know they are playing with dns entries but some of my mails get bounced when the receiving smtp server goes for a reverse-lookup. I would be grateful if someone throw their cents in and make me understand. regards suresh

Suresh, no problems for that. DNS servers for the domain will be hosted on the DNS servers of one provider. In zone file, there will be records for www and for mail server. 'A' record for the www will point to the provider's 'A' www server, and 'MX' record will point to the provider's 'B' mail server. Owner of the domain should tell provider's 'A' hostmaster what to put into zone file for the domain. -- Pozdrav/Regards, Saa == ___== Sasa Milic, Sys.Eng., CCNP = / / / _ __ _/_ === EUnet Yugoslavia /--- / / / ) /__/ / Obilicev venac 4, 11000 Bgd, YU === (___ (__/ / / (__ (_ = phone: +381 11 311 9901 ==== http://www.EUnet.yu == Connecting Europe since 1982 == e-mail: smilic@domain ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Suresh, I am very interested to help you, as I have been System Adminitrator for Unix System and done sometime with DNS management, However Your data is not clear enough, and i get confused from your explanation, therefor I can't reply with useful info. 1) Please provide more real data to analyzi for example does two sites have exact name ? or it's different ? www.a.com and www1.a.com could be the same IP could be different. 2) I could have mx and DNS entry different for example : www.ong.net.IN A 202.154.1.1 www1.ong.net. IN A 202.154.1.2 You see now ? it's different for MX it could be ong.net.IN MX 10 202.154.1.1 branch.ong.net. IN MX 20 202.154.1.2 Meaning : 1) Mail with ong.net domains go to email server 202.154.1.1 2) Mail with branch.ong.net domains go to email server 202.154.1.2 Btw I am not sure what you're asking, here's a general point Regards, Leonard Ong, CCNP, CCDP, CSE, LCP Leonard Advanced Research,Inc Leonard Ong | A Wise Man said : " Life is Full of Sufferings, (Íõ¶°ºÀ) | Therefor Living as a Human is a Suffering " Cisco| [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Share Knowledge together!
