Sure, it'll work.  It wastes a lot of system resources, but it'll 
work.  You're setting up a domain on the RaQ you don't need.  But it'll 
work <frown>.

Take a look at my zone file (alright, I'm giving away my secrets for free 
<smile>):

The key here is that IP# 209.126.157.69 is assigned ONLY to 
<www.mailtraqna.com> in my RaQ2's gui interface, and that I've used the 
same IP# in DNS ONLY for <www.mailtraqusa.com>.

Note, though, my default MX record sending mail for mailtraqusa.com to 
mail.mailtraqna.com for handling. This won't work by default, you have to 
tell the RaQ2 to allow mail for this domain name.  And create a record in 
virtusertable so each name at mailtraqusa.com will go to that same name at 
mailtraqna.com.

A lot more elegant than setting up a domain, in my book <smile>.
