        BIND will round robin the MX records, how mail agents deal with
multiple MX records of the same priority is less of a known factor (to
me at least). Actually I'd be interested to hear from people who try
both configurations for say a month at a time to see what influence each
configuration has if any.

I was just looking at this code in sendmail the other day. sendmail will
randomize when it gets multiple MX records of the same priority. Look at
mxrand() in domain.c.
