Hi,
So far i've changed the main onebm.com record to this,

$ttl 38400
onebm.com.	IN	SOA	69.56.188.6. onebm.com. (
			2003111224
			10800
			3600
			604800
			38400 )
onebm.com.	IN	A	69.56.188.6
mail.onebm.com.	IN	A	69.56.188.6
smtp.onebm.com. IN	A	69.56.188.6
www.onebm.com.	IN	A	69.56.188.6
ftp.onebm.com.	IN	A	69.56.188.6
ns1.onebm.com.	IN	A	69.56.188.6
ns2.onebm.com.	IN	A	69.56.188.6
onebm.com.	IN	NS	ns1.onebm.com.
onebm.com.	IN	NS	ns2.onebm.com.
onebm.com.	IN	MX	5 mail.onebm.com.
mail.onebm.com.	IN	PTR	onebm.com

Seems to be working ok. Is there anything else that needs doing?

Thanks

Gary
