New Related question on DNS
The IP of my mail server resolves to adsl-63-200-221-34.dsl.sndg02.pacbell.net on most reverse DNS lookups (PacBell DSL). How do I get that to resolve to exchange2.amor.org, which is what my hosting provider lists on their nameservers? Or do I need to run my own DNS server from this subnet to solve this?

;; ANSWER SECTION:
amorhq.net.\t\t259200\tIN\tA\t63.200.221.34

Sorry to be such a newbie pest. I'd just rather not become fluent in the depths of DNS to solve what seems to me like a quick fixer. Hoping one of you has that quick fix handy.

New Put an entry in /etc/hosts
Put an entry in /etc/hosts in the machine that is doing the lookup. It check /etc/hosts first.

Sorta like we did for the Slow DNS goings on... here

New Yes, that should work for this instance. Thanks.
Looking for a generic solution, still, however, since I know we're not the only "valid" mailer out there with similar configs. :(
