Yes, it is... MX is used to override an A record, for example since we have
no A record for Apache.ORG, we have a MX record, but jakarta.apache.org has
an A record (63.251.56.142), therefore, no problems with that...

Oh, ok.
I thought that trying the A record was a last-ditch attempt once every means
of getting an MX record had failed.

It is... First you check if you have an MX, if you don't you check if you
have A, if you don't you fail... But given that most of the times all those
info are cached by your DNS, it shouldn't take more than a handful of millis
and few UDP packets...

Why jakarta.apache.org and not apache.org:
+++
bash-2.05$ nslookup -query=MX apache.org
Server:  fscdns.mch.fsc.net
Address:  172.25.80.6

Non-authoritative answer:
apache.org  preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.apache.org

Authoritative answers can be found from:
apache.org  nameserver = NS1.COVALENT.NET
apache.org  nameserver = NS.HYPERREAL.org
mail.apache.org internet address = 63.251.56.142
NS1.COVALENT.NETinternet address = 64.84.21.103
NS.HYPERREAL.orginternet address = 209.133.83.22
