The primary name server is running FreeBSD v 6.0 and the secondary is running v 6.2. I have an MX record for each of the four registered domains. I have set up Postfix to act as a smart host mail hub (the MX host). One of the named record database is for one of the sites. When I try to send an E-mail from this message to list e-mail address. The messages bounce for dns lookup failure. The name that is being looked up is .... Some how the two names are being mashed together and then looked up, causing the resolution failure. dig targetDomainName.com -t MX produces the record according to my ISP's name servers, which is the mashed version. Possibly they have it wrong? Someone is screwing up the lookup for this. There was a period missing after the MX host name record. I added that and rebooted the machine with the primary name server just to insure that named got the change and checked the secondary record and it has the change I did dig @targerDomainName.com -t MX and got my secondary name server responding. I checked the primary server to see that it is actually running at the time, it was and is. but the bak file on the secondary server has IN MX 10 host.domain.tld. $ORIGIN targetDomain.tld. when the record on primary server is @ IN MX 10 host.domain.tld. @ in this context should reference the domain this file is for. If anyone is a wiz at dns record and problems can you make any suggestions or recommendations? thank you in advance Jeff K
