Ok.. this is weird. I was curious, so I ping'd wswig.net.

External machine:
MACBOOKPRO:~ icepick94$ ping wsywig.net
ping: cannot resolve wsywig.net: Unknown host


On the ZCS server:
[root@zcs etc]# ping wsywig.net
PING wsywig.net.sitediscovery.com (75.31.55.210) 56(84) bytes of data.

It seems that for some reason, when the server cannot resolve a host, it automatically appends my host domain to the name. Since it is doing this, it will never find the MX record for any domain that does not have a host associated with it. It can find www.sbcglobal.net just fine. It cannot resolve sbdglobal.net to get the MX record since the zcs server is adding my hostname to it. WEIRD!!

Does this help or add to the confusion?
