IBM Internet Security Systems

The Internet mail servers for the

iss.net

domain use the servers,

atla-mx1.iss.net

,

colo-mx1.iss.net

, and

sfld-mx1.iss.net

to

send email messages.

MX preferences

MX preferences are used to determine the priority of a mail server. By
default, sending Internet mail servers will use the mail server with the
lowest preference number (= lowest cost like metric in IP routes). Servers
with the lowest preference number have the highest priority.

For example, if the server

atla-mx1.iss.net

is unreachable, the sending

Internet mail servers will use

colo-mx1.iss.net

or

sfld-mx1.iss.net

to deliver email messages for the

iss.net

domain.

Using the same MX preference automatically load balances the mail
traffic beyond the servers with the same priority. If you have multiple
mail servers available for redundancy and/or load balancing, the use of
multiple DNS MX entries with the same MX preference is the easiest and
most common way for SMTP to split mail traffic. You will often find
multiple mail servers responsible for one domain due to redundancy and
load balancing needs.

records:
