Here's what O'Reilly's DNS & Bind book has to say about it:
Quote:
More than one mail exchanger may share the same
preference value, too. This gives the mailer its choice of which to
send to first.[1] The mailer should try all the mail exchangers at a given
preference value before proceeding to the next higher value,
though.
[1] The newest version of sendmail, version 8,
will actually choose randomly among mail exchangers at the same
preference.
There was a similar question to this one raised a little while ago. I think that one solution was to have both mail exchangers spool to the same share NFS file system, although this introduces a single point of failure again
Have a search for mention of mail servers in the last 3 weeks.
