[plug] MX record problem

[Jon L. Miller]

While setting up a Internet Gateway Server I've run into a problem where
the MX record does not display when I do a dig on the domain name.  See
example:
; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> @203.153.242.18 desborough.com.au ANY
 ; (1 server found)
 ;; global options:  printcmd
 ;; Got answer:
 ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 45556

In the DNS record I have assigned the following:

;
@                       A       203.161.81.22
                        MX      10 mail.desborough.com.au
                        MX      20 mail.mmtnetworks.com.au.
;
mail                    A       203.161.81.22
gw                      A       203.161.81.22

Just like to know if this correct.  If so why is it I cannot get the MX to
show up when I do a dig command.
