JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Assume we just wanted mail - a lower priority MX record pointing to the backup interface would suffice then?

Quick non-cisco interjection. Some systems will send to the lower priority MX record no matter what, so it has to be up and accepting data even if the primary is up. This is probably the case, but if you are paying for a standby connection from a datacenter, this isn't always the case (that, or the standby has crazy data rates that will bite you in the rear end)
