Alternatively, the way of adding two MX records with the same priority would be an option too, but i'm not sure if this is enough "balanced" in the daily business.
The distribution is pretty good, although the "alphabetically first" (or first in the Zone file) seems to get a slightly higher proportion of all traffic.
MXs with highest priority usually gets an over-proportional amount of spam, since some spammers choose those MXs for tactical reasons (based on the thought that such mailservers are often shared by several users (ISP customers!) and have thus less stringent spamfilters.
BTW: Failover is not the goal of this installation, it's really only the balancing.
You get failover as a plus - if one machine dies, standard compliant senders should use any of the other ones.
