That's close to what I use. However, MX entries alone aren't the
solution. You also have to configure the mail servers to forward the
mail on to the final destination once it comes back online. I'm not sure
how to do that myself, and don't really have to time to put much effort
into it since my mail server is only for small scale personal use. I
just use dyndns.org's "Backup MX" service:
http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/backupmx.html. Even if that isn't
a solution for you, it's at least a place to start looking.
