Hi, I have two SMTP servers and will like to edit the DNS record for the domain such that if the first stmp server fails, the mail client should try the second one. I have such a record, smtp 8H IN CNAME smtpserver1 8H IN CNAME smtpserver2 When I try to ping smtp.mydomain.com, it gives me the IP address of the first domain and when I try to ping again, it gives me the IP address of the second domain. Is this how it should be done? Thank you. Regards, Seng Yip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
