In this case, either 1) you have one mail server at the external
border
<br>
and one mail server internal, or 2) the same MX record in the
external
<br>
and internal view. You can have a common records file that you
<br>
$INCLUDE in both views.

This will work for smtp service, I see a host of interesting issues
with IMAP service. Two mail servers that must be synchronized within
a minute, I don't think that is standard.<br>
<br>
The simple solution (small scale) is to have one server, sitting
internally or in DMZ, the internal address record points to the
192.168.x.x address and the external address record points to the
public address of the router, which then has a virtual server set up
for it. This works flawless, I never consider if I am in or out of
the house.<br>
