Bind will always answer with the complete RRset. In named.conf, you can specify with RRset-order how named orders the records within an answer. the default is cyclic. ie, you donīt have to do anything. >, is there some >documentation that can help me doing such thing? http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/docs/config/ >The DNS must be in my internal LAN? no, Iīd say itīs better than your registered/delegated DNS be on a public ip in a DMZ. >Sorry for stupid questions but is the first time I'm >realizing a big mail server. DNS is the easy part :))) hot-mirroring of two mail servers with highly dynamic and vital contents (mail) is the hard part. :((( Since this is your first time, I suggest you K.I.S.S. Start with one box built with quality components and redundant, hot-swap disks and redundant, hot-swap pwr supplies and UPS. Youīll probably have an uptime of years. Donīt go crazy with a Quad Xeon at 1.5 GHz and 2 bg RAM. 4,000 mailboxes isnīt very many, even with webmail. neither is 10,000. Spend the money on redundancy, not power.
