What is there against the following solution: We are now adding a second mailserver (20 MX) to our configuration, which will forward mail to the main mailserver (10 MX) through mailertable. A third one will be added as soon as we grow as we now expect. To avoid having to edit all the DNS zones again then, could we not now do this already: MX 10 mail.domain.com. MX 20 mail2.domain.com. MX 30 mail3.domain.com. And put in the domain.com zone: mail 200.200.200.20 mail2 200.200.200.21 mail3 200.200.200.21 So mail3 is simply another name for mail2 for the time being. (Not a CNAME record!) All we would then have to change when mail3 is realized is changing the one IP number of mail3.
