In the /etc/namedb/db.domain zone file for this domain, add/change the MX records domain.com. IN A your.ip.address.for.the.website IN MX 10 the.fqdn.they.gave.you. IN MX 20 the.other.fqdn.they.gave.you. repeat for www.domain.com NB. the dots at the end of domain.com. and the domains on the MX lines are important. Make sure you include them. And make sure you increase the serial number in the SOA record. Also, take Josef's advice and get DNS and BIND. If you are taking over DNS you'll need it, very well written (like all ORA books).
