Hi, I'm running a secondary DNS for my domain which is hosted by Granitecanyon. The idea was that whenever the two main DNS servers are unavailable that mine will be used so I don't get cut off from the world completely. Every time I send a e-mail to the questions mail list, it would seem that every mail server that receives that e-mail queries my puny DNS server. Practically DOSsing it, well maybe not quite. Normally I don't see much DNS traffic if any at all because the main servers is far better connected and capable. What then causes my DNS to be queried when I send an e-mail to the list? Any ideas?
