<p class="MsoPlainText">I'm adding a new domain to my existing authoritative name
servers, and need to add an MX record for a device residing on existing
domain. When I run named-checkzone, I get a message about the MX record
being out of zone and not having an A record. However, at the end of my
named-checkzone output, I get "OK." Can I restart named as is
without causing problems or do I need to address these messages?</p>
