I see your point. So with::
; MX records
thought.org. IN MX 10 tao.thought.org.
IN MX 20 ns1.thought.org.
you think that mail through my NS1 server will flow thru
and see tao first and find both "kline@tao.thought.org"
and "kline@thought.org" both??
Bill, does this make sense to you too?
If tao is down should I put ns1.thought.org as a mail
relay/MX site?
