RE: DNS via MX records

Hi,

 

Is this a problem?  All the time I thought this is okay.

My setup is slightly different.  We have our own domain

with two internal IMS servers, one cost 10 and another 20.  What I observed

is abt >90% of incoming mails will go to the lower cost and <5% will

go to higher cost IMS server.  By default the IMS only accept

20 connections (something like that in IMC properties), so

when the max connections reach it should go to the higher cost IMS server.

 

Is my assumption wrong?  Then Heaven help me, I have been wrong

for more than 2 yrs.

Hey guys Im not a dns guru but Im thinking something is possibly wrong with the way this is configured or maybe my understanding..

 

We have 2 mx records 10 IN and 20 IN. The 20 is our ISP as a backup mail route. The problem is although we have no downtime (monitoring with servers alive, smtp,pop,ims service, and internet connectivity) we will find dozens of messages sitting at the isp. Im running Exchange 2000 SP2 any ideas? we just put sp2 on but I dont think that has anything to do with it..

 

Thx..
