Newb question about forwarding MX records
Once I've pointed my domain to the linode name servers do I need to set up bind myself? I noticed that the linode web interface has a DNS manager, are all of these settings prepopulated for me, meaning all I would need to do is edit the mx entries to point where I need them?
I guess what I'm asking is, is this correct?:
point domain to linode nameservers
go to DNS manager and create mydomain.com zone
alter MX entries in the newly created zone
not have to touch anything else
Thanks for any help, it's appreciated! If you're curious, I am specifically wanting to forward my MX records to google apps

Creating a zone in the Linode DNS manager will not automatically copy over your existing settings from GoDaddy. It will add some default entries if you leave the creation settings at the default, but these aren't taken from your existing configuration - instead, they're done based on likely things you'll want.
If your domain is example.com, the prepopulated entries will give you A records for example.com, mail.example.com and
