yeah, just bung the domain in the rcpthosts file on the second server and
then in the DNS give it a higher MX preference value than the primary server.
Then, qmail on the secondary MX will accept the mail for the domain and try
and deliver it to the primary MX, queuing and retrying on the way...
I think it gives up after a message has been in the queue for 7 days or
something. Plenty of time for you to try something else :)
