I believe that most machines should have at least two names...

      mx1 mx2 mx3... should be assigned as CNAME records to the
                      actual machine name (see below) that the
                      machine currently performing that function
                      is known by.


Hmmmm... MX records are CNAMES? Doesn't that cause problems with a certain
popular MTA?
