Mike: You will need to have your ISP change the PTR record (IP address and domain) that points to you so Reverse DNS works properly, otherwise a lot of mail servers will reject your e-mails, identifying them as SPAM because you have an incorrect Reverse DNS record

I have two servers in the same IP range (ns.domain1.com and mail.domain2.com). My DNS server is on ns.domain1.com and I want to move it to mail.domain2.com while I rebuild mail.domain1.com. I'm running Microsoft's DNS on Server 2003. Can I just move the IP address, that the DNS is associated with at DirectNic, from ns.domain1.com to mail.domain2.com and transfer the DNS and files, and have it work, even though the fully qualified names are not the same? Does any lookup for domains on my DNS server only worry about the IP address of the DNS server being correct or is there more to it than that? Thanks, Mike
