Hello,
'Just want to clarify something... is there a difference between:
domain.com. MX 10 mx1.domain.com.
domain.com. MX 10 mx2.domain.com.
domain.com. MX 10 mx3.domain.com.
;...
mx1.domain.com. IN A 10.0.0.1
mx2.domain.com. IN A 10.0.0.2
mx3.domain.com. IN A 10.0.0.3
and:
domain.com. MX 10 mx.domain.com.
;...
mx.domain.com. IN A 10.0.0.1
mx.domain.com. IN A 10.0.0.2
mx.domain.com. IN A 10.0.0.3
>From RFC 974:
"...Note that multiple MXs may have the same preference value. In
this case, all MXs at with a given value must be tried before any of a
higher value are tried..."
Is the behaviour the same with the round-robined configuration?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
