Thanks, Len.
I'm a bit confused though.
First, how did you do this???????????????????????
no secrets, see my dig command.
2nd, the mx record is for fusemail, that is where their mail is
currently being hosted. Do I not need an A record for this in my
ibrandsinc.com zone
You can't put an A record in your zone for some another zone.
The DNS software will refuse to load it, saying "out-of-zone data"
(unless you are delegating a zone and put in the A record/glue for
the child NS)
, or does the zone for fusemail.net take care of their A record?
that's the very definition of how DNS works. Each DNS delegated with
authority for zone maintains, exclusively, its own zone database,
which all other NS refer/defer to.
I can't figure out where the A record for mx.fusemail.net is coming from
it comes from the NS authoritative for mx.fusemail.net (or it comes
from another DNS where it is cached)
dig @NS.fusemail.net. mx.fusemail.net. a +sh
208.70.128.213
, since I can't enter it into the ibrandsinc.com zone.
no
