It's very simple, for DNS:
;file: db.weberize.com
weberize.com. MX 10 nashville.weberize.com.
weberize.com. MX 20 cairo.weberize.com.
nashville MX 10 nashville.weberize.com.
nashville MX 20 cairo.weberize.com.
nashville A ip.ad.re.ss
cairo.weberize.com. MX 10 cairo.weberize.com.
cairo.weberize.com. MX 20 nashville.weberize.com.
cairo A ip.ad.re.s2
The above makes each Imail the secondary MX for the other. The you
have to set up cross relaying in the Imail:
In Imail nashville's NT hosts file
ip.ad.re.s2 cairo.weberize.com
.... in Imail smtpsecurity:relay:for addresses:ip.ad.re.s2
In Imail cairo's's NT hosts file
ip.ad.re.ss nashville.weberize.com
.... in Imail smtpsecurity:relay:foraddresses:ip.ad.re.ss
