yes...they are sending it to two public ips of our GTMs...

 

I have created an mx record and it is successfully resolving the name to the microsoft messaging server.

 

Since, i have two GTMs, can I create two zones (SOA records) for both HO GTM and DR GTM. So that if primary GTM is down the secondary GTM can also respond to the MX records requests...
