I've bought the mxBackup license, but haven't set up the secondary server yet. I've never set up an MX record in DNS for a backup mail server. What's involved? How do you designate the IP for the primary over the secondary? I use Dotster for most of my domains' DNS records, and they have a priority field which can be set for MX records. Is it as simple as setting up another MX record with a different priority?

The second mail server can either be a full mail server or we also have a low cost ($50) solution called iMS MS Backup which is basically a store and forward server which accepts mail and then stores it until the primary mail server comes back up. If anyone has something to add, then please do....
