Hank,
on the backup just put the domains in rcpthosts file NOT in locals and NOT in
virtualdomains
this will effectively configure the backup mail server to accept mail and try to
deliver it to the primary.
Make sure your dns records are correct

Okay.

Eminent sense.

I'm assuming the best way to implement a backup mail server that will queue
mail in the event of a problem with the best MX would be to set the backup
server as 2nd MX (obviously), and then add all the appropriate domains to
rcpthosts.
Will that cause mail to be cached automatically

This is a bad idea. Why? Because you're setting yourself up for the
situation a friend was just in. His main server went down, and the
secondary kicked in. Unfortunately, the secondary server had become

Yes seriously. Most MTA's will queue email for at least 3 days, so
unless your hardware failure lasts that long then you should be
