I run a DNS server and mailserver for my own domain. Here is the DNS
setup:

$ORIGIN tic.com.
$TTL 86400
@        IN SOA ns1.tic.com. root.tic.com. ( 2008122446 86400 300 604800
86400 )
@        IN NS  h2o.outer.net.
@        IN NS  ns1
www      IN A   216.239.227.5
ns1      IN A   68.14.224.76
@        IN A   216.239.227.5
@        IN MX  5 ns1

You will note the MX record points to ns1.tic.com which is my SMTP
server.  www.tic.com points to a different IP address and the two
nameservers are ns1.tic.com and h2o.outer.net.
