Not to mention, might want to set the TTL packet to a really low value prior
to any change.  That will help things move a bit quicker.

Other way around. Lower values = higher priority

MX record confirmation

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

We're going to be switching from a hosted email service to hosting email
internally with Exchange on SBS.  Our MX record obviously points to the
hosted service IP right now.  When Exchange is setup and running, I want
email to come there instead.  However, I still want to leave the old MX
record in there just incase theres problems with the new server, but at a
lesser MX priority.  So, do I basically just have the ISP change the DNS
host table and create a new MX record for Exchange server with a HIGHER
priority number than the current MX record?

example... 

If my current dns table shows:
IN MX 10 mail.outsourced-email.com.

I should have the ISP change it to:
IN MX 20 mail.myinternalmail.com.
IN MX 10 mail.outsourced-email.com.

Is that correct?
Thanks.
