MX records and Wildcard dns
OK i ran into a snag with a zone file

I really need wildcard dns on this domain, but i have been having trouble with the MX record. i guess the zone file would explain itself.

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns1.realestatelogic.net someone.created201.com (


2004052515 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
lamoureyteam.com. IN NS ns1.realestatelogic.net.
lamoureyteam.com. IN NS ns2.realestatelogic.net.
*.lamoureyteam.com. IN A 67.15.47.3
lamoureyteam.com. IN A 67.15.47.3
ns1.realestatelogic.net. IN A 67.15.47.3
ns2.realestatelogic.net. IN A 67.18.5.157
mail.lamoureyteam.com. IN A 66.1.106.104
lamoureyteam.com. IN MX 10 mail.lamoureyteam.com.


for some reason the MX record will not work properly as you see it up there. i have to get rid of the wildcard and have just www.lamoureyteam.com. does that zone look ok to anyone here?

sorry. The problem was that with the zone file configured as it is above, the server would report that there is no mx record for mail.lamoureyteam.com. now once i took out the wildcard A record and replaced it with www.lamoureyteam.com, everything started working just fine.

basically i took out the
*.lamoureyteam.com. IN A 67.15.47.3

and put in
www.lamoureyteam.com. IN A 67.15.47.3

but i really need to figure out a way to use the wildcard.

You still haven't told me what kind of server you're using. I'm guessing you're using Microsoft DNS Server? Maybe it selects the first record it comes to that matches. Place the wildcard record after the mail.domain.com IP record.

And what do you mean it says there's no MX record for mail.domain.com? mail.domain.com isn't supposed to have an MX record. Only domain.com is supposed to have an MX record. I'm assuming you didn't paste the exact error.

No MX record is reported for lamoureyteam.com

So is it BIND that says that error? If so, where does BIND tell you this? Also, are you sure that's the exact error? Even one word off would make it extremely difficult to find out why it is giving that error.

One thing is for sure, these 2 records don't belong in that zone:

ns1.realestatelogic.net. IN A 67.15.47.3
ns2.realestatelogic.net. IN A 67.18.5.157

They belong in the "realestatelogic.net" zone.
