Forwarding mail to two Mailservers

[svkadmin]

Hi AIX Professionals !!!

I have an AIX server with sendmail AIX5.1/8.11.6p2/8.11 that needs to forward all emails to two mailforwarders with the same priority (Not fail-on-fault).
So it should send to both mailservers with some kind of "round-robin".

Is there a way to solve this behaviour inside sendmail without using a local DNS ??

The only thing my DNS needs to do is to solve the forwarding to the servers (if i need one). Thats all, nothing more !!

If i need to use DNS how should i configure the DNS files ??

/etc/named.conf
/usr/local/domain/named.abc.data
/usr/local/domain/named.abc.local
/usr/local/domain/named.abc.rev
/usr/local/domain/named.ca
/etc/resolv.conf

what entries should i use in sendmail ???

I appreciate any tip from you

//Best regards Martin

To use round robin in DNS you need to define two IP addresses for the same host name.

Its not a local configuration on the node, but within the dns database.
