Using an MX record from a different domain

[Lear, Karen (Evolver)]

I'm adding a new domain to my existing authoritative name servers, and need to add an MX record for a device residing on existing domain.  When I run named-checkzone, I get a message about the MX record being out of zone and not having an A record.  However, at the end of my named-checkzone output, I get "OK."  Can I restart named as is without causing problems or do I need to address these messages?



[klear at dns1 conf]$ sudo named-checkzone -t /dns/chroot/conf -D usptoenews.gov db.usptoenews

zone usptoenews.gov/IN: usptoenews.gov/MX 'smtpedge1.uspto.gov' (out of zone) has no addresses records (A or AAAA)

zone usptoenews.gov/IN: usptoenews.gov/MX 'smtpedge2.uspto.gov' (out of zone) has no addresses records (A or AAAA)

zone usptoenews.gov/IN: loaded serial 2010033000

OK
