Hi James,
 
I agree. That would be the best way to go. But I figured Steve had
something special in mind.

        Steve,
        I think adding a second MX recording with higher priority is the
way to go. This way the mail will always go to the primary mx with the
lowest priority if that connection goes down then the mail will go to
the other ip.

                Normally, I'm quite good at DNS, (STFU Greggo....:), but
I cant get my
                head around this one...:)
                
                No ISA involved yet....it's on the cards.
                
                Client has 1 dedicated line and 1 ADSL line.  Heh heh
not a load
                balancing or teaming question.
                
                Dedicated line has an fqdn of mail.bldc.com
                
                ADSL line has an fqdn of mail2.bldc.com (Static IP)
                
                Now...I want to be able to resolve mail.bldc.com to both
IP's, is this
                possible in DNS, externally hosted?.....so that if one
line is down,
                it'll go to the other.
                
                Thanks
                
                Steve
                
                The correct technical term for haggis stalking is
"havering".
