Re: MX Record Question

Chris,
yes my ISP is pointing MX Record to my valid IP (200.x.x.x).
Must I configure 2 DNS entry (.com and .local) or .local is enough?
Is if my ISP configured to redirect some services like FTP, WWW and MX to my
second NIC (200.x.x.x) I don´t have to create .com, only .local entry, is
this right?
Thank you.

Luiz
