hi Raj

> I want to set up DNS. How can i practically test my DNS ?
to setup DNS have a look at man named
and test it using nslookup
to have correct result from nslookup put
"nameserver 127.0.0.1 " without quotes at the top of /etc/resolve.conf
if u want i can give u two data base files for our DNS server ( one
for A quries and other for PTR ones ) for example purpose

actualy MX is used to define a mailexchanger host that is if the
final destination m/c is not working the mails can be delevered to
the next priority MX machine now u can put configuration for
host 2 like this
MX 5 host2
MX 10 this_host
this will stores host2's mail with this_hsot if host2 is not available
keep yr host2 off and check it out
other pls add more if missed something
