[wplug] Settings for 2 servers and email

[Kevin Squire]

I want to make sure I have this right in my head before I finish setting
the DNS/MX records and I tell the bosses that all is ready.... so I was
hoping to pass this through some of your brains :-)

We are finally hosting our own servers, 1 for request-tracker (a bug
tracking system), and 1 for student email.  Internally, the computer
names are Merlin (for RT) and Phoenix (for email).

Right now, we already have the DNS set for http://rt.mypavcs.org/ to
point to IP address 65.105.38.217 .  Merlin is up and running, and
behaving nicely.  

Also right now, http://mypavcs.org/ or http://www.mypavcs.org/ points to
IP address 82.165.206.194 (a 1&1 hosted service) that redirect to a
particular page on our main website for some promotion we are running. 
After the promotion is done, These will point to 65.105.38.216 -
Phoenix.  http://www.mypavcs.org/ will really just be a 1 page "portal"
page to send fokes the right direction.

I have also set http://mail.mypavcs.org to point to 65.105.38.216
(although at the time of writing this, I am still waiting for the Cisco
guy to get to our firewall for this).  This is to set up a WebMail
interface for the students (SquirrelMail).

All this is good, and I (am pretty sure I) have a handle on this stuff.

Here is what I want:
  http://mypavcs.org AND
  http://www.mypavcs.org  --> phoenix's portal page
  http://rt.mypavcs.org   --> merlin's RT interface (working fine)
  http://mail.mypavcs.org --> phoenix's SquirrelMail interface

  USER at mypavcs.org        --> phoenix
  USER at mail.mypavcs.org   --> should die/be dropped (I think)
  USER at rt.mypavcs.org     --> should die/be dropped (I think)

SO if I understand everything correctly, here is what I have/want...
  Domain name 	mypavcs.org
  IP address 
    (A record)  	65.105.38.216
  Name server 1 	ns58.1and1.com
  Name server 2 	ns57.1and1.com
  Mail server 1 	mail.mypavcs.org, 1
  
  Domain name 	mail.mypavcs.org
  IP address 
     (A record) 	65.105.38.216
  Name server 1 	ns58.1and1.com
  Name server 2 	ns57.1and1.com
  Mail server 1 	???
  Mail server 2 	???
  
  Domain name 	rt.mypavcs.org
  IP address 
     (A record) 	65.105.38.217
  Name server 1 	ns58.1and1.com
  Name server 2 	ns57.1and1.com
  Mail server 1 	???
  Mail server 2 	???


Should I do anything with the mail and rt .mypavcs.org MX record?  Do I
have the whole CNAME/A Record stuff set right?  


Thanks for your time and assistance.
