[lug] dns mx record

[Hugh Brown]

That's what it had been (don't you love sharing admin responsibilities for
a box).  I changed it but no luck, then I just remembered after reading
your note, that I hadn't changed the serial number at the top before I
restarted named.

I'll try that and see if that works.

Molte grazie,

Hugh
