One way I minimized this issue was to define a very large cache in the local DNS service for each dedicated incoming mail server. This was in a web hosting shop with roughly 80K domains across a number of CPANEL and PLESK hosts, with a central set of beefy PostFix-running clearinghouse MXes fronting for QMail and Exim.
