Question about setting up a DNS record

[Jason Williams]

Thanks Barry. I appreciate it.

I thought it might be pretty simple. Since I had already setup a MX record 
pointing to my firewall (long setup really), I figured, it was a matter of 
setting the host and pointing to the A record...

So with that setup, I could then send emails to users at: 
bugsbunny at blowfish.courtesymtg.com, to do my testing and at the same time 
it would not interfere with my current domain, courtesymtg.com, correct?

Since my setup was pretty complicated, I figured this would be the only way 
to test my setup, without breaking email for the company...

I just wanted to verify.

Thanks for your help.
