Hi,

| is it valid to have the same prioriy value for multiple MX=20
| records for a
| single domain ?
|=20
| I notice that hotmail.com has
|     MX  5  mx1.hotmail.com
|     MX  5  mx2.hotmail.com
|     MX  5  mx3.hotmail.com
|     MX  5  mx4.hotmail.com

Yes, it's perfectly valid. In that case the sending MTA will select =
randomly
to which MX connect.=20

It's used frequently for load distribution across multiple servers in
frequented domains, such as hotmail.com surely is.
