SMTP & DNS Questions

1. Is it possible to have an ISP DNS server point to multiple MS records. The reason that I ask is that we are in the process of migrating from a POP3 service on NT 4.0 to Win2k SMTP environment. I do not want to distrupt the normal service but I need to test the new server with the existing email domain names. Basically can I have MX priority 5 pointing to mail.smtp_server.com (ip of internal exchange) and MX 10 pointing to mail.pop3_server.com (ip of ISP's POP3).

2. Do I need multiple vertual servers for each domain that the Win2k exhange will manage. There will be three domain names, controlled by AD. Will AD alone (assuming that all smtp email addresses are defined in AD for each user) sort and port emails to users or will I be required to create a Virtual server for each domain.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance....Jim
