in the MX record??

[ken at flyingtoasters.net]

You could certainly do it either way you outline, but by far the easiest
would be to simply have the MX record point to their mail server.  No
reason not to do it that way -- since it's pretty much the only time that
DNS allows you to separate out a service based on IP, and you might as
well take advantage of it.  (Gee, wouldn't it be handy if there were a
lookup table like DNS for all services?  "If DNS has an HTTP port
assigned, go there, otherwise, port 80."  Ah, well...)
