Of course it helps, thank you. :-) >> Why isn't that passed on to the local routers?

If you're relying on A record fallback, you need "self > = pass". Uhm. I actually want to have a standards compliant DNS setup, but setting a an MX record for each subdomain (I don't know them in advance ...) looks a bit time-consuming. I hoped it was possible to specify wildcards for both the A and the MX types. But the day will come when I'll separate mail from web, and then I've got to fix all that afterwards since I cannot just change the A record of my MX host. Isn't there another smart way to come around that?
