dns-hostingdomain-name-systemherokuipstatic-ip
I want to make a domain point to my Heroku app, so I am trying to create an A record that targets myapp.herokuapp.com.
The problem is that the domain provider requires an IP address, and I cannot find any IP address for my Heroku app. I guess it might be something about Heroku only having dynamic IP addresses (and thus no static IP addresses).
How can I fix this problem? Can I make Heroku use static IP addresses?
From the output of your ip route you don't have the default gateway set - try running:
ip route add default via 69.169.136.1
I'm not sure if it's different on archlinux, but on the Redhat variants to make that permenant you can add the following to /etc/sysconfig/network:
GATEWAY=69.169.136.1
Or you could just use an external mail provider like Google.
Create a Goolge Apps-account. After that, configure your application to use the Gmail-servers for sending/receiving mail.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your full email address (username@your_domain.com)
Email Address: your full Gmail address (username@your_domain.com)
Password: your Gmail password
At Gandi, you should edit your MX records to the following:
Priority Mail server
1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
Or, Gandi expert mode:
@ 28800 IN MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
@ 28800 IN MX 3 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
@ 28800 IN MX 5 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
@ 28800 IN MX 5 ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
@ 28800 IN MX 5 ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
If you don't use Gandi DNS but Zerigo DNS, you should make your configuration like this:

There are heroku apps for that. Take a look at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/fixie
