- Dear Fellow-Networkers,
-
- I am setting up the DNS on a SUN workstation (running SunOS 4.1) and I'm
- trying to configure the mail exchanger (MX) entries.
- The problem is that I would like to use one and the same symbolic address
- for two services:
- - for a telnet-based service running on one host, and
- - for the e-mail-service running on a different host.
-
- Let's call the domain "ourdom.org". The symbolic address "ourdom.org" has
- been assigned to a machine with telnet-access only (192.192.192.1).
- In order to have easy-to-remember mailing addresses ("user@ourdom.org"),
- I would like to use "ourdom.org" also in a MX record, but with another
- host acting as mail host ("ourmail.ourdom.org", 192.192.192.3).
-
- I have tried the set-up given below, but all smtp connections seem
- to go to the host 192.192.192.1 and not to the mailhost 192.192.192.3...
-
- Does anybody know a way to achieve the desired behaviour?
-
-
- =======================================
- Here is a part of the zone file for in.named:
-
- ; DNS zone file "ourdom.zone"
- ; name {ttl} class SOA origin person_in_charge
- @ IN SOA our_ns.ourdom.org. root@our_ns.ourdom.org.
- (
- 9206261 ;serial number
- 86400 ;refresh interval
- 1800 ;retry time
- 2592000 ;expire
- 86400 ) ;minimum ttl
- IN NS our_ns.ourdom.org.
- ;
- ì.... omitted lines ....┘
- ;
- ; the following line stands for the domain name ourdom.org:
- @ IN A 192.192.192.1
- ; mail exchanger:
- @ IN MX 10 ourmail
- *.@ IN MX 10 ourmail
- ;
- ; name-to-address mappings:
- our_ns IN A 192.192.192.2
- ourmail IN A 192.192.192.3
-
- =======================================
-
-
- Any help is grately appreciated!
-
- Cheers,
-
