I get similar from earthlink:

[D:\TMP]nslookup -type=mx scoug.com
Server: ns1.earthlink.net
Address: 207.217.126.41

Non-authoritative answer:
scoug.com preference = 0, mail exchanger = mail.scoug.com scoug.com
preference = 100, mail exchanger = mx2.zoneedit.com

Authoritative answers can be found from:
scoug.com nameserver = ns5.zoneedit.com
scoug.com nameserver = ns1.zoneedit.com
mx2.zoneedit.com internet address = 64.151.77.88
ns1.zoneedit.com internet address = 207.234.248.200
ns5.zoneedit.com internet address = 65.125.228.92

I had to look this up to verify my memory (rfc 1034). Lower is better, so
ZoneEdit is the backup.

Oddly:

[D:\TMP]nslookup scoug.com ns1.zoneedit.com
Server: ns1.zoneedit.com
Address: 207.234.248.200

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: scoug.com
Address: 216.184.211.35

Which means something is confused about authority.

Humm,

Steven
