I have a DNS server which is not returning mx queries for some reason? The zone
file is as follows:
$TTL 1H
@ IN SOA example.com. root.example.com. (
1 ; serial#
3H ; refresh
1H ; retry
1W ; expire
1H ) ; minimum
NS ns1.example.com.
MX 10 mail
TXT "v=spf1 a mx include:isp.com -all"
example.com. A aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
ns1 A aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
mail A aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
The server is setup as with a caching only configuration with recursion turned
off.
Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks!

Here's an example of a DNS record that works for me: ; Zone File for hosix.com $TTL 14400 @ 14440 IN SOA ns1.hosix.com. root.alder.hosix.com. ( 2005043003 14400 7200 3600000 86400 ) hosix.com. 14400 IN NS ns1.hosix.com. hosix.com. 14400 IN NS ns2.hosix.com. hosix.com. 14400 IN A 207.58.168.98 hosix.com. 14400 IN MX 0 hosix.com. mail 14400 IN CNAME hosix.com. www 14400 IN CNAME hosix.com. ftp 14400 IN CNAME hosix.com. The named log files are pretty good at showing why things aren't working. Shawn
