OK, now I am confused. Is the same box doing primary and secondary? I
thought we were discussing the secondary here -- its IP addresses, etc.
I'd really like to understand how this got broken in the first place
(although I am glad that you got it working...) If the logs and ifconfig
output you posted were not from the secondary, where did they come from?
Here's how I interpreted what I saw, just to make this clear. Reading
the logs of the secondary, it appeared that it did not recognize that it
should be the secondary -- the IP address assigned to the A record that
MX pointed to was not 'local' to the box. This is what had me
confused....
