The results returned by dnsdb when doing an mx or mxh lookup are not
ordered by priority:
r...@haven:~# exim4 -be '${lookup dnsdb{mx=googlemail.com}}'
30 alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
40 alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
5 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
20 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
r...@haven:~#
I'm not sure how you could pick out the item with the lowest priority
using Exim expansions.

It's extremely light weight compared to everything else that will be
going on inside Exim. I doubt it would affect the server load noticably.

Nope. Use a caching dns server.
