BIND 9 And Multiple MX Records

Hello Everyone,

I just installed a redhat 8 with Bind 9. I'm trying to add multiple MX records for my domain kkwc.com, I want to created the backup mx record, but the host is under a diferent zone kkwc.net. Here's a sample query result from redhat DNS.

kkwc.com. MX IN 86400 mail.kkwc.com. [Preference = 10] kkwc.com. MX IN 86400 server01.kkwc.net.kkwc.com. [Preference = 20] kkwc.com. NS IN 86400 dns1.kkwc.com. kkwc.com. NS IN 86400 dns2.kkwc.com. mail.kkwc.com. A IN 86400 199.3.249.3 dns1.kkwc.com. A IN 86400 199.3.249.7 dns2.kkwc.com. A IN 86400 65.85.69.71

I need the query result for my second MX record to be:
kkwc.com. MX IN server01.kkwc.net

NOT

kkwc.com. MX IN server01.kkwc.net.KKWC.COM

Please Help.
Thanks to all.

Your missing the trailing period in the data portion of the record... If you're putting the full mail server hostname in the DNS record in the last field, you need a trailing period to tell BIND it's already cannonical -- otherwise BIND is helpful and appends the current zone's domain name to whatever you've entered. (very common error)
