My concern would be with multiple MX records for the same domain - is it
possible it would come back to try again with another MX and be delayed yet
again?

The sqlgrey perl script has the ability to consult a database to see if
enough time has elapsed as well as cluster servers to see if the client has
attempted a connection to one of the other MX servers. I'm not sure I ever
managed to set it up successfully, however.
