Hello.
I'm not sure what to do.
I have lots of servers which have a record such as
mail.customerdomain IN A 10.1.1.1
The MX record for each domain is something like
customerdomain IN MX mail.customerdomain
This works fine, but you can get a listing of all customers by doing a
reverse lookup on 10.1.1.1, which is our mail server. This isn't good.
I've thought of two ways to fix this:
1. Use a CNAME for the MX record to point to our mail server.
This isn't allowed or recommended.
2. Hack the reverse zone to only return our mail server name.
This is a hack.
Can anyone offer me any advice?
