Any idea what is wrong and how to solve it? thanks for taking time helping.

As a second thought, for a second thread...

Are these servers licensed? If so, what we SHOULD do is set up routing between them, so that you see some other benefits as well. There's a WIKI entry for the multi server setup here:

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. It is licensed. I have figured out the problem its because of a badly configured MX record in my named configuration. Problem has been solved. Thanks a lot for your reply Kevin.
