    Well, the point is, here the domain name points to the mail machine ;-)
    Does everybody agree that we should recommend an A-RR'd record here?
No. According to Murphy an A-RR'ed address will be unreachable
when you need it most. Then how am I going to tell that you'll
have a fair chance reaching the contact at another RR'd address?
Apart from that, I don't want to change the contact information
when I move to another "primary" mailhost for a given domain.
And why should I? We have MX RR's, don't we?
