mail server dns question
Why is it that some of my sites, if i ping the mail server, they dns to the correct mail server (mail.strengdesign.com) and others dns to mail1.hsphere.cc?
shouldn't all the sites i created dns to mail.strengdesign.com? did i mess something up? and more importantly, i think this is something that needs to be fixed--can i do it?

no when you setup a domain they are put on either mail or mail1.

your dns zone strengdesign.com has aliases for mail and mail1. When you add a domain that domain's mail gets setup on which ever mail machine we have "turned on" for new signups. For a while its been mail1 but a few days ago we changed it back to mail as mail1 was getting full and mail is not very full at all.

mail1.strengdesign.com seems to be valid from this side of the world
when you say Quote:
This sounds to be like an RDNS related thing possibly ? Could you describe what your actually doing a little more ? Last edited by Brangwyn : 05-16-2003 at 11:22 AM.

i have just had clients (and myself) with email issues and thursday vortech needed to reset the dns on my personal account. Then i started looking at some of my client accounts and was noticing some variance in the ping reporting. I am not very versed in this aspect of server management, etc. so i came here for a little guidance.

yeah that does work fine, but if you ping mail. it says mail1.hsphere.cc (same ip) I thougth that it should say...
pinging mail1.strengdesign.com i guess it is not so much a technical issue as an aesthetic one... as long as all mail works, i guess i don't care

bootnumlock, there must be a DNS PTR record, and sadly it can not have tons of replies(it can't distingush between requests, and if it coudl it would be SLOW), it will always be that, hsphere.cc is fairly generic.
