[BBLISA] Strange DNS behavior

[Edward Ned Harvey]

Can anybody explain this?

(That is, why does my dns server reply using the mid-priority mx,
instead of the high-priority mx?)  (It seems to always give the
second-highest priority mx first, because if I add a 40-priority mx,
then the 30-priority mx comes up first.)

	[eharvey]$ nslookup
	Default Server:  ns1.mydomain.com
	
	> set type=mx
	> nedtest.com
	Server:  ns1.mydomain.com
	Address:  x.x.x.x
	Aliases:  alias1
	
	nedtest.com     MX preference = 20, mail exchanger =
mailhost2.nedtest.com
	nedtest.com     MX preference = 10, mail exchanger =
mailhost3.nedtest.com
	nedtest.com     MX preference = 30, mail exchanger =
mailhost.nedtest.com
	mailhost2.nedtest.com   internet address = x.x.x.x
