OT: Load Balancing & redundancy using Multiple A records

[UxBoD]

Why do your customers need to add additional MX records ? Surely they will be using your outbound SMTP servers.

If this is what you mean, then the downsite of round robin DNS is that the actual servers are not tested that port 25 is active.  For this you would require a more technical solution.

We use multiple MX records for our MailServers for all our clients. 
We have already added one data center and had to inform all customers to
add more MX records 


Can I avoid changing of MX records by adding the new ips as multiple A
records and using DNS round robin
What are the problems associated with this kind of setup 


Thanks
Ram
