Re: Conflict between www. & mail.

You ARE an Ace!!! Bloody brilliant!! Your solution totally worked. I kept
creating an entirely NEW record for mail.ilpomodoro.com - it never dawned on
me to just add a host to the existing record!!! This problem has been
plaguing me for entirely too long - thank you, thank you, thank you!!

On a personal note, "The only constant in life is change..." - happen to
have that tattoo (only in the form of Chinese symbols) - but isn't that the
truth...!

Scenario:
www.ilpomodoro.com is hosted at my network
mail.ilpomodoro.com is hosted at Network Solutions

Problem:
I can't access mail.ilpomodoro.com from my network

I would think I need to put some sort of a separate entry for
mail.ilpomodoro.com in DNS for any requests to forward to
205.178.146.50 (mail.ilpomodoro.com.netsolmail.net). I tried that...
and fussed with the A record, host record, etc but it's still not
working. Am I on the right track.....?

On your internal DNS hosting the ilpomodoro.com zone, rt-click, new host,
type in mail, provide the actual external IP address, which I found when I
pinged it to be: 205.178.146.50, which responds to a telnet on port 25 to be
Network Solution's email server.

Then I did an nslookup to see what actual MX record exits for
ilpomodoro.com. I found there is an MX record called
"INBOUND.ILPOMODORO.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET", which resolves to 205.178.149.7 (a
completely different IP address than when I pinged mail.ilpomodor.com).
When i telneted to that, Network Solutions email server also responded.

So you need to straighten out your records or no one will be able to email
you.


C:\>nslookup
Default Server: london.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.5.200

set q=mx
ilpomodoro.com
Server: london.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.5.200

Non-authoritative answer:
ilpomodoro.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger =
INBOUND.ILPOMODORO.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET

ilpomodoro.com nameserver = ns29.worldnic.com
ilpomodoro.com nameserver = ns30.worldnic.com
ns29.worldnic.com internet address = 205.178.190.15
ns30.worldnic.com internet address = 205.178.189.15




C:\>nslookup
Default Server: london.mydomain.com
Address: 192.168.5.200

INBOUND.ILPOMODORO.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET
Server: rbru.br.rs.els-gms.att.net
Address: 199.191.128.103

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: INBOUND.ILPOMODORO.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET
Address: 205.178.149.7

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
