This text describes the way gnode request for MX in adna. It will be included in the final documentation, so feel free to correct it. But if you want to change the system here described, please contact us first.


In DNS server the MX field is provided by the DNS itself, to leave ADNA more flexible the MX in Ntk is provided by the host itself. When you need to know the MX of a domain you contact the domain main node via dsn query, the node. using the dns_wrapper, give you it's MX.

This requires small changes in the code: it is just necessary that the dsn_wrapper contact the domain main node instead the adna server and the node will reply with the MX field.

Easy and straight, that permit the ADNA server to be free from all the request but the name resolving
