Kindly let me know the difference in configuring DNS MX. I have two setups below gmail.com and microsoft.com which has it's own DNS MX. What are the pros and cons of having DNS MX in each setup.
Setup A (One MX dedicated to one server)
gmail.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = gmail-smtp-in.l.google.comgmail.com MX preference = 40, mail exchanger = alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 30, mail exchanger = alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com internet address = 74.125.25.27
alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com internet address = 74.125.131.26
alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com internet address = 74.125.142.27
alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com internet address = 173.194.68.26
alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com internet address = 74.125.140.27
Setup B(One MX to multiple servers)
microsoft.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = microsoft-com.mail.protection.outlook.com
mail.messaging.microsoft.com internet address = 65.55.88.22
mail.messaging.microsoft.com internet address = 94.245.120.86
microsoft-com.mail.protection.outlook.com internet address = 207.46.100.11
microsoft-com.mail.protection.outlook.com internet address = 65.55.169.11
