Hello,
i’m providing subdomains of my domains to my family members an a few friends. I want that they are able to choose the mail-server they like, so I have to set the MX records for the subdomains to their mail-servers. But this is not possible at DO DNS. Would you think about an integration of that feature please?
Respectfully
Andreas Pfohl

What platform are you using for your mail servers? Have you checked to see if it supports domain aliases (like Google Apps: <a href=“http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182079”>What is a domain alias?</a>)?
What if you separate out the subdomains from the zone file (and create separate zone files for each subdomain)?
You misunderstood. I want to use several different mx records for the sub-domains of a domain. For example: <br> <br>father MX 10 fathers.mail-server.com. <br> <br>That the MX of father.example.com ponits to fathers.mail-server.com. <br> <br>I can’t set the hostname at the beginning of the record.
