The MX lookup used UDP which is not as reliable as TCP (most lookups are UDP, however 
- except for zone transfers).  At any rate,
make sure that you have MX caching turned on - as a matter of fact, I kind of wish 
that we didn't even make that an option and that
MX caching was always on no matter what...

HTH,

Howie
