[BlueOnyx:13181] Re: Sendmail excessive recursion on a customer server

[Hans Draaisma - Netvictory B.V.]

Hello Chris,

I see that you are running the nameservers for the domain on the same server as where the site&mail is running which is totally fine.
Everything looks right to me only one remark.

You have an a-record for 2 secondary nameservers ns1.forgruene.com & ns2.forgruene.com pointing to the same ipadres and i'm not sure you should do that. (ip 208.77.145.178) 

Good luck!
