  19. When I replace the A record for the domain with the external destination IP, his site loads properly. HOWEVER all email stops. MX record has his domain name as the destination.
  20.  
  21. If I replace the A record with my server IP, the temporary web page shows, and email goes through.
  22.  
  23. Temporarily, I have the domain A record with my server IP. A separate redirect command forwards to his www.domain.com and the www.domain.com is sent to the outside industry server via a CNAME entry.
  24.  
  25. Not ideal, but email and web page show as desired.
  26.  
  27. Does anyone have a better solution for this? I thought it was unusual. 48 hours on the initial DNS change, I would have thought that was enough. .... ?

  29. Thanks in advance.....

  35. Change the MX to a subdomain that won't affect the website. Create something like mx.domain.com with the your server's IP and set the MX to mx.domain.com

  48. An MX record is generally a CNAME and a CNAME just returns the same result as the DNS record it's pointing to.
  49.  
  50. So if you have an A record for THEDOMAIN.COM pointed to 1.1.1.1 and an MX record pointed to THEDOMAIN.COM - it will connect to 1.1.1.1 to deliver email.
  51.  
  52. If you change THEDOMAIN.COM from 1.1.1.1 to 2.2.2.2 - the MX record will also be pointing to 2.2.2.2.
  53.  
  54. So as UNIXy suggested - create a subdomain/host record on the DNS zone pointing to the right IP for email - 'mx.thedomain.com' works but really anything you want - and then edit the MX record to point to that subdomain.
  55.  
  56. This way you can have email pointing at your server, and the A-record for the domain itself pointing somewhere else.
