If i take accounts on 2 companies for shared(virtual) hosting....what all do i need to enable round robin from my domain name?

mean, i have the same site on both servers...when somebody goes towww.mydomain.com, they are randomly, or alternatingly directed to each servers to balance load and introduce fault tolerance.

Doing this, can i still use a custom MX record?

-thanks.

Just add another A record to your DNS zone files and everything will work fine including custom MX record

thanks. but will this method work if my websites do not have a unique IP? i mean, if they are something like

http://122.122.122.34/~userxyz/mirror1
and
http://11.12.31.111/~userabc/mirror2

?

You mean virtual hosting (shared IP)? Yes, it works fine with virtual hosting

ok thanks..will try it out then.
