  I am having Trouble setting DNS records.
  MY provider said these are the DNS records but my account wont accept them:
  A record
  mail.theflips.com.au. –> 27.54.90.129

  MX record
  theflips.com.au. –> mail.theflips.com.au.

  It looks like those entries are in the wrong format. Entries must obey the format specified at the bottom of the Custom DNS page. For example:

  MX <pref> <host>.
  A <subdomain> <IP>

  We have more information about adding Custom DNS entries at http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/.

  Could you try reformatting your entries and see if you are still having trouble?
