The simplest method is to make the two servers equal priority in your MX records. You'll get load balanced to within about 10 to 15% of optimal. Alternatively, you can offer a single MX record pointing to a round robin A record. For outbound, your mail clients will be configured to access a single domain. Make that domain a Round Robin DNS pointing to two IP addresses. Ideally, you should keep your MX IP addresses different from your message submission IP addresses, so that you can distinguish between inbound and outbound domains. It's pretty easy to arrange this just by changing your MX records. Assuming that we're talking about servers for languageworks.com, you have this set up: chip-74 % host languageworks.com languageworks.com has address 209.218.206.60 languageworks.com mail is handled by 0 nyclns01.languageworks.com. languageworks.com mail is handled by 10 nyclns04.languageworks.com. chip-75 % host nyclns01.languageworks.com nyclns01.languageworks.com has address 209.218.206.60 chip-76 % host nyclns04.languageworks.com nyclns04.languageworks.com has address 209.218.206.68 Just change the MX records so that both servers have the same priority (and are configured the same way). -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex x3148 -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
