Configuring multiple backup WANs

Tags: Microsoft, Windows SBS 2003, Watchguard, Watchguard, Firebox, E550, Pro Software, Networking
Hi there,

If I have two internet connections connected through a dual wan router (watchguard firebox) with round robin and failover.

Should the reverse DNS for each one be the same for an exchange server.

at the moment I have x.x.x.x point to mail.x.x
and x1.x1.x1.x1 pointing to mail2.x.x in the reverse dns. Exhcange is only setup for mail.x.x

Do you think that this will cause trouble when sending the mail  over the second route? If so can I just have the second connection's reverse dns point to mail.x.x regardless of whether the first connection is up and running, it work correctly.

Thanks in advance

Richard
