Just to clarify you are adding machines with the ip address of the www. record in the nameserver not the nameserver it’s self.
Which is not quite what I read below.

Then I click the MACHINES tab and add a new entry for a machine called “www” with the IP address of a dyndns.org nameserver

Another way to find this info is correct is to set a client with your isp’s dns servers in the network pref pane then use the network utility to dig on the http://www.yoursite.com and see what the answer is. This is also done easily via the terminal with the dig command if you want to look hard. 🙂

Happy Hunting

You need to add the records using the dns settings in Server Admin.
If you added the mx record to dyndns.org you can use the same info to add an mx record to your internal zone.

If you do not know what your dyndns info is you can check this out using http://www.dnsreport.com/ and entering your domain name.

This long winded report will give you what mx records are being used and also what www record is used.
With this info you can create the required records internally.

You don’t really need to get into the conf files manually but you can if your feeling brave. Remember that the Server admin dns setting may stop working if you manually change the files.
