I just want to know how other people set up their MX-entries for mail accounts used with google apps. I work at a local web-hosting firm and we get a lot of tickets from clients who want to set up these settings. I just set them up something like:

example.com.    14400   IN  MX  10 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
example.com.    14400   IN  MX  10 ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
example.com.    14400   IN  MX  15 ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
example.com.    14400   IN  MX  15 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
example.com.    14400   IN  MX  30 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.

I see another firm (rival one) who sets up way more MX-records ? Roughly, around 10-15 entries. Am I doing something wrong ? More is better in this case ? Is there a secret that I'm not on too ?
