I thought recent versions of DNS will fall over to TCP if the packet grows larger than XYZ UDP length. That being the case, I dont think it is recommended to have more than 3-5 MX records per hosts. I think the reasons are usually legend versus factual, but that is the 'normal' way of doing it. -- Stephen John Smoogen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Los Alamos National Lab CCN-5 Sched 5/40 PH: 4-0645 Ta-03 SM-1498 MailStop B255 DP 10S Los Alamos, NM 87545 -- So shines a good deed in a weary world. = Willy Wonka -- _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
