it's a TTL of the recotrd. ALL MX ex should have equal TTL, if others don't have any explicitly specified (BIND takes it from other info), don't specify this. > Besides that the wiki suggests that my first fake mx record should be set > at 10, then my real mx record at 20, and then another fake one at 30.

The numbers is irelevant, only the order is. 0-1-2 will have the same effect as 10-20-30 or 10-95-100. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
