[cobalt-users] MX Records in DNS



Hello all,

Does anyone got an idea of how to set MX Records in a DNS server?

All email of one of my domain names must be forwarded to 3 other email servers.

When I create 3 MX records in the DNS and do a "dig mx domain.nl" command 
through Telnet, then you'll get such results:

-----
;; ANSWER SECTION:
domain.nl.               5h42m19s IN MX  30 mx.wirehub.net.
domain.nl.               5h42m19s IN MX  30 mail.deabv.nl.
domain.nl.               5h42m19s IN MX  30 mailme.wirehub.nl.
-----

What it needs to be is:

-----
;; ANSWER SECTION:
domain.nl.               5h42m19s IN MX  110 mx.wirehub.net.
domain.nl.               5h42m19s IN MX  100 mail.deabv.nl.
domain.nl.               5h42m19s IN MX  105 mailme.wirehub.nl.

If you change "Delivery Precedence" in your Server Admin, you can get different 
values (between 20 and 50), but not the 100, 105 and 110...

Second, if you open the file /etc/named/pri.domain.nl, there you can see these 
values, but you can't change them.

If anyone got an idea of how to do this, please contact me.

Thank you,
