um...WOW...thats severe overkill for what he needs. It also costs money. DNS roundrobin is all he needs to use and thats free hopefully if he has a good managed DNS service for his domain.



I disagree. We use DNS load balancing for incoming SMTP and a surprisingly larger percentage of the mail goes to the "first" MX host in the DNS record. If you want effective and even balancing of your incoming lines, you need something more sophisticated that understands the availability, bandwidth, and utilization of each route.
