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?

Thanks in advance
Markus
