I guess that could offer you some fault tolerance, and I've seen it done that way. I found that one of my customers had three MX records, the lowest cost one pointed to the IMS server, but the other two pointed to an ISP that they no longer used. Had the Exchange server gone down, mail wouldn't have queued for them, but instead would have bounced immediately. So, the lesson there is if you do that be sure to remember it in case you drop the services of the secondary ISP!
