Need to delgate subdomain ?

[eludom]

I have a domain (hosted with he.net) that I've been using for a long time with MX
records pointing at Google Hosting.

I've set up an AAAA record for a host (ipv6.port111.com) and all is fine.

When I add an MX for ipv6.port111.com, it fails to show up in dig.   Do I need
to delegate a domain ?   Can I do this in the context of the he.net zoneedit
tool ?

Thanks,

How long did you let it propagate?

It was indeed impatience that was the problem :-).

Currently trying to figure out where to point AAAA/NS records (e.g. ns1.he.net's v6 equivilant) ... no wait....
dig is your friend:

dig ns1.ipv6.he.net any

; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> ns1.ipv6.he.net any
;; global options: +cmd

ns1.ipv6.he.net.   400   IN   AAAA   2001:470:0:57::2
