[Dnsmasq-discuss] Deferring to external nameserver for certain local domain names

[Brandon Beck]

Not quite, I have several MX records that point to
[{,alt1.,alt2.}aspmx.l.google.com, alt2.aspmx.l.google.com,
aspmx[2-5].googlemail.com].  I then have a CNAME record for mail that points
to ghs.google.com.  I believe this should be fine, does it seem okay to you?
