Not many people use peering, because nobody really seems to be able to explain the benefits of it (although you split the load between two servers, you also double the load, as 1/2 of the E-mails go to the wrong server). Have a backup (gateway) mailserver would work fine, though. Your MX record would show the IP of the gateway server, which would receive the mail and scan it, and send it to the existing mailserver (which would no longer need to scan the E-mail). Offloading the virus scanning would reduce the CPU usage of the existing server. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
