Bummer. This is one of my personal "wake up in the middle of the night sweating" scenarios. > We highly depend on a working mail system and I quickly need to set up a > temporary solution. I think this might be more than a temporary solution, but... Have you considered using a separate company for your DNS? I personally really like the ability to control my own DNS without having to rely on someone else. Take a look at nominum (www.nominum.com). These guys do DNS for lots of big companies. They are the authors of BIND so they know what they are doing. Their GNS service has a nice Web user interface and frees you from having to mess with the guts of BIND or (shuuder) MS-DNS. Its also pretty cheap, $60/year for a small number of records, which would cover the MX, WWW, FTP etc. definitions. With a credit card you should be able to have a working DNS set up in maybe 20 minutes.
