I have a couple of domains set up on the shared Windows hosting. I shall be running my own mail server (Exchange 2007) in my office, and want to have the mail for one of the domains routed directly to my server.

At the moment the DNS records show an A record for mydomain.co.uk with a value of the web hosting IP Address. I also have an MX(10) record for mydomain.co.uk with a value of mail.mydomain.co.uk, and an A record for mail.mydomain.co.uk with a value of the webhosting IP address.

First, am I correct that all I need to do is to change that last A record to my broadband IP address to get the mail delivered to my server. (I already have mail for the domain provided by my ISP sent to another server in the office)

Second, do eUKHost provide any backup SMTP server (e.g. set up on an MX(20) record) in case my server or line goes down. (I won't be using any POP3 mail on the domain if that matters). If not, what happens to email sent to mydomain.co.uk when there is no server on the end.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.
