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
