Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
Not really sure where to ask this question, so I'll start here.<br>
<br>
I've been thinking of migrating our mail infrastructure to a virtual server, running in the Web3 IPFS cloud - without having a physical IP address attached to it.<br>
<br>
But... How do I address the damned thing, and how do I publish an MX record?<br>
<br>
I can certainly open a WebSocket or a WebTransport socket - addressable by CID, create an IPNS record to point to it, and a DNS_Link text record to resolve to it.</div>

But that leaves me with the problem of publishing an MX record that resolves to an FQDN.<br>
<br>
Is this a solved problem? Or anybody have any thoughts as to how to approach it?<br>
<br>
(And, perhaps a related question: How might one run a Bind server behind an IPVM that has no existence anywhere except in IPFS space?)<br>
<br>
Quandaries for the day!</div>
