Tom, when your mail server establishes a connection to another host, the receiving host will likely automatically check the PTR record of the IP address your server used as it's source address. This PTR record should have a corresponding A record that points to the same IP address that was look

I've seen similar queries. Problem was traced to an open resolver at the client end (actually many open resolvers). Patched firmware resolves the issue with the client. Bind moving to a soft limit on the number of recursive clients a few years back seemed to mitigate any service impact these qu

If you want to ensure well working failover you must, at some point, test it. Even better, you may want to regularly test it (check out Netflix's Chaos Monkey). One way to run a simulation would be to use a firewall rule or static route to block access between your test client/recursive server
