Can't seem to find an answer to this question on AWS' forum, not in the Route53 manual, nor on Stackoverflow/Serverfault in a way that makes sense...and GoDaddy's support sure as heck ain't got an answer:

How do I set an MX record in Route53 for a GoDaddy domain?

My apex record and all CNAME records on Route53 are working correctly, pointing to my app on EC2. But I would love to be able to login to http://login.secureserver.net to check my web-based e-mail for this domain.

In case it's pertinent, GoDaddy's "Email Info Center" for the domain returns...

Domain settings can be invalid if the system cannot verify your email address or if the MX records are incorrect. For additional information, see Managing DNS for your domain names.

Type         Host                          IP Address
Nameserver   ns-AAA.awsdns-47.com          XXX.XXX.XX3.X22
Nameserver   ns-BBB.awsdns-55.net          XXX.XXX.XX5.X86
Nameserver   ns-CCCC.awsdns-24.org         XXX.XXX.XX6.X97
Nameserver   ns-DDDD.awsdns-11.co.uk       XXX.XXX.XX8.92

GoDaddy e-mail server settings listed as...

Server                      Standard Ports             Your Open Ports    
Incoming server (POP3):
pop.secureserver.net        110, 995 (SSL)             110, 995 (SSL)
Outgoing server (SMTP):
smtpout.secureserver.net    80, 3535, 25, 465 (SSL)    80, 3535, 25, 465 (SSL)

In the AWS console for Route53, is it just a matter of creating a MX record set with...

Name  = mail.mydomain.com
Value = 10 pop.secureserver.net 
        20 smtpout.secureserver.net

...???

and you can check my ptr record from here

http://mxkit.com/webmaster-tools/ptr-check

result

Ptr records for 64.250.113.235 are: Server: 10.0.80.11 Address: 10.0.80.11#53

Non-authoritative answer: 235.113.250.64.in-addr.arpa name = notification.pokemoncraft.com.

I am building a site that I anticipate will have high usage. Currently, my registrar (GoDaddy) is handling DNS. However, Amazon's Route 53 looks interesting. They promise high speed and offer globally distributed DNS servers and a programmable interface. While GoDaddy doesn't offer a programmable interface, I assume their servers are geographically distributed as well.

What are the main reasons I should opt to use Amazon Route 53 over free registrar-based DNS?

How do you configure IPTables so that it will only allow SSH in, and allow no other traffic in or out?

Any safety precautions anyone can recommend?

I have a server that I believe has been migrated away from GoDaddy successfully and I believe is no longer in use.

But I want to make sure just because ... you never know. :)

Note that this is a virtual dedicated server from GoDaddy... That means no backup and virtually no support.

I have a project which is version-controlled using git.

What I want to be able to do is set up a repo on my (ssh-enabled) GoDaddy shared hosting package so that I can deploy with a push rather than dragging and dropping in FTP.

Any tips would be appreciated. Best would be an account from someone who's already done it, but I couldn't personally find any online.
