( you could also wonder why they put in two MX's in your domain and then point them to the same IP, but presumably that's a transitory thing, maybe mx1.xtra and mx2.xtra sometimes point at different IP's ).
I believe that's historical accident - I believe new Xtra-hosted domains just use one MX record now. mta.xtra.co.nz/smtp.xtra.co.nz are load balanced, and you'd find a metric buttload of SMTP servers in behind them. Cheers Richard
