How hard would it be for a large domain to simply consolidate the
addresses of all its mail servers into one IP block?
a bad idea, since a lack of redundancy will permit network failures near
that IP block to block outbound. The largest operators need to be able to
route outbound mail, dynamic load balancing/distribution, via their
internal networks to geographically diverse mail egress points,
