neuron:# nslookup joebloggs.com
Server: neuron.webmore.com
Address: 192.168.250.5
*** No address (A) records available for joebloggs.com
So do the suggested thing:
In your zone-file
@ in soa host1.joebloggs.com. brendan.host1.joebloggs.com. (
1998042700 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
900 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
172800 ) ; Minimum
in ns <your-NS>.
in mx 10 <one-MX>.
in mx 30 <another-MX>.
; for mailers ignoring MX-records
in a 192.168.250.5
The last line with the IP-addr. does what you are looking for.
