I guess that would work, I really don't want full DNS resolution between us because I don't trust their computers to be 100% clean. The VPN Tunnel exists between us but B is limited as to the resources it can see on A. I suppose I could just do it one way so Company A's mail to B will route directly over the VPN and B would come back over the net. Is it simple as adding the record to A's Forward lookup zone with the modified MX and deleting the existing record from cached?

Since they are part of the same company and connected by VPN anyway, you might have some other benefits as well linking DNS.
