Hi Y'all, I need to point emails of a domain name "example.com" to 123.456.xxx.xx and the website to 098.765.xxx.xx given that I am using a nameserver that is independent of Server A and Server B. Is this correct?
example.com. 14400 NS 0 dns200.anycast.me. example.com. 14400 NS 0 ns200.anycast.me. mx1.example.com 14400 MX 0 mail.example.com. mx2.example.com 14400 MX 10 mail.example.com. example.com 14400 A 098.765.xxx.xx mail.example.com 14400 A 123.456.xxx.xx mail.example.com 14400 CNAME mail.example.com. pop3.example.com 14400 CNAME mail.example.com. smtp.example.com 14400 CNAME mail.example.com. imap.example.com 14400 CNAME mail.example.com. www.example.com 14400 CNAME example.com.
I need to be sure before I engage anything.

  Also another question: given that mails from example.com and anotherexample.com point to 123.456.xxx.xx (where WHM & cPanel are installed) and the reverse dns (PTR) of 123.456.xxx.xx resolve to anotherexample.com, will this cause any problems for example.com e-mails?

  Hello :) You need to add the MX record for "example.com" itself. Some mail servers may detect the RDNS mismatch, so it's important for RDNS to match the mail server name. Thank you.
