I'm really hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I have
a (remote) dedicated webserver which I lease. It is running Window 2000
Server. Everything used to work perfect until my server hosting company
decided to begin charging outrageous DNS hosting fees. When this occured, I
began using a DNS provider and everything worked fine with the exception
that e-mail could not be sent out from any of the domains on the server.

SERVER SETTINGS

'Use the following IP addresses:

IP: 66.xxx.xxx.110
Subnet Mask: 255.255.254.0
Default Gateway: 66.xxx.xxx.xxx


Use the following DNS server addresses:

66.xxx.xxx.xxx (DNS hosted by webserver leasing co.)
207.xxx.xxx.xxx (DNS hosted by webserver leasing co.)


ADVANCED TCP/IP SETTINGS:

IP Addresses:
66.xxx.xxx.110 (DNS hosted by webserver provider)
66.xxx.xxx.111 (www.mydomain1.com DNS hosted by 3rd party)
66.xxx.xxx.112 (www.mydomain2.com DNS hosted by 3rd party)
66.xxx.xxx.113 (www.mydomain3.com DNS hosted by 3rd party)
66.xxx.xxx.114 (www.mydomain4.com DNS hosted by 3rd party)
66.xxx.xxx.115 (www.mydomain5.com DNS hosted by 3rd party)

I suspect that my problem sending e-mail is due to using different DNS
hosting providers since that is when my problem started. What I want to do
is set everything to the same 3rd party DNS provider but my webserver
hosting provider says that that will lead to problems. If I listen to their
advice, I'll never send e-mail unless I pay sky high DNS hosting fees. Can
someone please provide some suggestions? I'm commited with my current
hosting company for close to a year from now so changing is not a good
option at this time.

Thank you
