RE: [PLUG] Exchange hosting at a different location from web hosting

["Joseph Sands" <jsands@legisdiscovery.com>]

The nameservers would stay the same, on the DNS server you would change
the MX record to point to one host (10.10.10.10) and create an A record
for your app pointing to the VPS (172.0.0.1).

Here is another somewhat related question.

I am thinking about using a VPS to host some applications so that I
don't have to try to worry about shared hosting. Is it possible to
host the domain on a VPS and set up email and stuff on a shared host
like Dreamhost? This way I wouldn't have to set up a mail server and
web access, etc on my own. Is it as simple as setting the mx records
to dreamhost and the nameservers to point to the VPS?

Thanks!
Randy
