If your server is down and someone tries to send you mail and the dns lookup fails would the sending mailserver mark it as a failure immediately? As opposed to, if your dns server was elsewhere, then since dns lookup succeeds the sending mailserver will requeue the mail until your mailserver is up again. > Would you use djbdns for this? It would be a more secure choice than bind :) -- Crayon -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
