My worry is the A record for the outsourced mail service is out of our control,
if it were to change it would be catastrophic.
I like the idea about the cname. Can a cname be used as a host for a MX record?
The other fear is the outsourced (showing ignorance on SMTP here) might react
badly to the client making a connection to a server with a name different than
they expected, as it looks like they are doing a name based virtual hosting.
I will look in to it.
Thanks,
