The following describes the DNS setup used during the test: - Each machine has an A record with its IP address - Each machine has a PTR record for reverse mapping its IP address to the actual machine name - There are entries for two virtual machines: vsw1 and vmr1     NOTE: vsw1 and vmr1 are configured in the Alteon for set of Message Switches and Routers, respectively.     For instance, the Alteon round-robins amongst the set of Message Switches/Routers when a connection is made     to either virtual machine vsw1 or vmr1. - There is an MX record for local.p.net and remote.p.net that points to vmr1.p.net and operf4.p.net, respectively.     NOTE: The MX records have a preference level of 10. - There is a CNAME (alias) record for pop.p.net and smtp.p.net that points to vsw1.p.net and vmr1.p.net, respectively. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For questions about this result, please contact the tester.
