I've a question I can't answer by just testing it out on my MTA because I don't know if other MTA's will do the same thing.
If I have 2 front end gateways servers IP1: 123.123.123.1 IP2: 123.123.123.2 A mx1.isp.com 123.123.123.1 A mx2.isp.com 123.123.123.2 And set up MX-records for domain.com like MX 10 mx1.isp.com MX 10 mx2.isp.com The DNS ist configured to answer in round robin method. So the load should be 50/50 on both servers. Now the question: should or must a remote MTA try to connect to the second MX 10 host if the first one (also with priority 10) was not reachable? Is this a "must have" or could it be that some MTA's from certain vendors will not connect to the second MX?
