Interesting query -- it took several checks to find the issue(s)...
here's what I checked & what I deduced:
# dig ns msa.hinet.net @4.2.2.2
This querey for the nameservers for the given domain (from a Verizon DNS
server) reported NO NAME SERVERS
So, my assumption was that msa was a hostname on the hinet.net domain.
But assumptions are bad, so I checked:
# dig a msa.hinet.net @4.2.2.2
This query reported an IP address of 168.95.4.211, which means I MIGHT
be right... but let's check further
I tried:
# dig mx msa.hinet.net @4.2.2.2
which returned 9 different mail servers (msa-mx[1-9].hinet.net.), but
ALL of them had a weight level of zero. This strongly implies that
msa.hinet.net is intended to truly be a sub-domain of hinet.net... so I
checked for a separate zone file with:
# dig soa msa.hinet.net @4.2.2.2
and I received an SOA record... but wait, it was the SOA record for
hinet.net, not the sub-domain.
So, what have we learned:
1) msa.hinet.net is not "really" a sub-domain for hinet.net. If that is
what is desired, then a new zone file needs to be created, with a unique
SOA and unique NS and MX records.
2) msa.hinet.net is (for now) a hostname (or more correctly, a Fully
Qualified Domain Name: FQDN) -- but a hostname that has MX records
(multiple) assigned to it (legal, but not completel legit)
3) The MX records for msa.hinet.net are incorrectly formated -- I'm not
positive, but I don't believe a weight (or preference level) of zero is
valid. Try a level of 10. I DO believe that having them all set to the
same preference is legal -- it creates a "round-robin" effect (or at
least is supposed to).
So -- at a minimum, fix your MX record preference levels. However,
appearances seem to favor that you're trying to setup a truly
differentiated sub-domain of hinet.net, in which case your DNS zone file
needs to be created and correctly referenced within your hinet.net zone
file.
I hope this helps.... someone!
