As Dave Crocker noted, the general provisioning case for MX records is
within leaf-node zones.  If there are exceptions, like in .com.au, I'd
suggest defining a protocol extension to the domain mapping to describe MX
record provisioning.  Let's take it off-list if you'd like to explore that
option.
