Hi,

Can I have 2 MX record in the same DNS server pointing two different IP MX server,

mail.domain1.com
smtp.domain1.com

Regards,
Abdulkarim
 
Yes, but do you host your domain's public DNS internally? If not, you don't
need to create MX records. What is it you're trying to accomplish?
 
DNS supports multiple MX records.

Each MX matches a domain name with two pieces of data, a preference value
(an unsigned 16-bit integer), and the name of a host. The preference number
is used to indicate in what order the mailer should attempt deliver to the
MX hosts, with the lowest numbered MX being the one to try first. Multiple
MXs with the same preference are permitted and have the same priority.
