Not so: MX only works for other MTAs attempting to send e-mail by looking
up MX. It does nothing for Joe ISP user who has 'smtp.isp.com' set up as
his outbound host. The load balancer is a dual-node unit that can fail
services over to one of the two boxes within 3 seconds of one becoming
unresponsive for SMTP, POP, IMAP (or any other TCP service for that
matter).
