Well, the best way is to create it and then wonder why you are not getting
any mail :) Plus, it violates RFC 1035 (on the syntax of MX records).
One basic reason is that the IP address would be translated into a name under
is $ORIGIN (missing '.' at the end !):
$ORIGIN mydomain.com.
hostb IN MX 10 10.0.0.1
will result in:
hostb.mydomain.com. IN MX 10 10.0.0.1.mydomain.com.
which does not exist ...
