I have a stage.domainX.com and domainX.com. How do I adjust the MX records accordingly to where all mail sent to stage.domainX.com goes to one server (IP1 66.xx.xx.xx) and all other mail sent to domainX.com goes to another server (IP2 67.xx.xx.xx)?

info@stage.domainX.com -> IP1
info@domainX.com -> IP2

Make sure you have DNS records for the mail servers, for example:

mail1.domainX.com.         IN    A     66.xx.xx.xx
mail2.domainX.com.         IN    A     67.xx.xx.xx

Then create an MX record for each domain:

stage.domainX.com.         IN    MX    10 mail1.domainX.com.
domainX.com.               IN    MX    10 mail2.domainX.com.

The correct way of doing it would be the delegating stage.domainX.com Refer to the documentation to delegate stage.domainX.com http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch9/delegate.html

Delegating is completely unnecessary in this situation. In fact, it would only complicate things by requiring at least one more nameserver to delegate to. – Cakemox Apr 8 '11 at 19:56
