Interesting.

My home DNS setup (since over a year now) looks like this:

greenie.muc.de.		14m32s IN MX	5 kirk.greenie.muc.de.
kirk.greenie.muc.de.	9m16s IN AAAA	2001:608:4::3
kirk.greenie.muc.de.	9m18s IN A	193.149.48.167

and I haven't had any reproduceable mail reception or delivery problems
since then.
