Help needed in setting up DNS with SMTP redirection.

Post by usalabs »

I have setup the smtp redirection, and entered mail.rollernet.us and mail2.rollernet.us into the mx records, but the dns service I use require that I create an A record for the MX record, snippet from the dns service page. (Remember, you must also create an IP address (A) record for "mail.mydomain.com".) , what do I enter for the A record?

Use the following:

mail.rollernet.us
67.118.43.92

mail2.rollernet.us
69.111.250.84

The reason I don't recommend doing this is sometime this year I may have to change IP addresses if the office I'm looking at to build a new operations center works out. It just so happens that the office is in a different city, even though it's less than 10 miles away from where everything is currently located.

However, everyone will get extended notice of the change, if it happens, and it will be staged properly out to eliminate outages.
