Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

I noticed on https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/dns-references.html that the syntax given for the MX record is incorrect. It is missing the priority number. As I'm not a DNS expert, I don't know what sample value should be given for the MX record priority.

eg:
        IN MX <priority> mail.example.com.
mail IN A 192.168.1.13
