Hello,
I'm using a Redhat Linux as DNS server with Bind named 8.2.2-P3.
I have a problem with a MX record when setting it up with subdomain.
The subdomain is "amd.asso.be" with the following DB file :
---------------
@ IN SOA localhost. root.vpresence.com. (
95305646118
28800
14400
3600000
86400
)
IN NS bizns1.vpresence.com.
www IN A 195.162.204.216
ftp IN A 195.162.204.216
mail IN A 195.162.204.210
MX 10 195.162.204.210.
IN NS bizns2.vpresence.com.
------------
IP 195.162.204.210 and 195.162.204.216 are not those of the redhat DNS
server ... www is working fine, ftp also ... mail.amd.asso.be is right
(ping are OK)
BUT, when trying to send email to the SMTP server "mail.amd.asso.be", it
failed because the resolution cannot find the MX for this domain name :
"amd.asso.be" !
When trying a NSLOOKUP on bizns1.vpresence.com, I get the following result
:
-----
Default Server: bizns1.vpresence.com
Address: 212.122.35.3
> set type=MX
> amd.asso.be
Server: bizns1.vpresence.com
Address: 212.122.35.3
amd.asso.be
origin = localhost
mail addr = root.vpresence.com
serial = 816365606
refresh = 28800 (8H)
retry = 14400 (4H)
expire = 3600000 (5w6d16h)
minimum ttl = 86400 (1D)
-----
This is not a MX record output ... why ???
I have already tried with another line for the MX => " MX 10
mail.amd.asso.be." but I get the same results
I have made NSLOOKUP for some other computer with the same output
all help welcome, thanks in advance
