I would like to offer a bullet-proof mail service to high end customers. I'm
running BGP4 but my building could burn down. Would the following scenario
work.

importandomain.com       IN    MX    10 myisp.com.
                         IN    MX    20 backup.myisp.com.
backupmail               IN    A    x.x.x.x


I would run backup.myisp.com and backupmail.importantdomain.com at a remote
location using DSL.

If my ISP burned down, backupmail.importantdomain.com would make a ETRN
connection to backup.myisp.com and get the mail. My client would then
connect to backupmail.importantdomain.com to get their mail.

Wouldn't this work ?

Any way to make the ETRN and POP machine run on a  single computer?
