IN MX 0 mail.ser.ver. would not match `myname' if `myname' does also have another (e.g. `A') record. Your claim is entirely wrong. A record for `my.net.work.' does only match this single FQDN, and nothing else. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
