>How to config MX resource record in named data file?(FreeBSD 2.25)
Doesn't depend on the release of FreeBSD:
alpo IN MX 64 alpo
IN MX 100 whistle
IN A 207.76.206.1
That defines 2 MX records for "alpo" -- one (preference 64) pointing to
itself, and one (preference 100) pointing to a backup system.
The MX records are sorted by preference values (in increasing order);
the first one that responds & accepts the mail gets it (as a brief,
oversimplified sketch).
For more details, see the O'Reilly _DNS and BIND_ book (I read that
there's a 3rd edition out now).
