Typically DNS zone transfers is used for this.  Set up one of the  
machine as the master, and point the other machines at the master.

Out of curiosity, do you have an example?  I know yxa is rather  
loaded, and deals with a lot of spam, but it should not lead to any  
significant delays as far as I understand.

Oh, btw, I remember that some time ago I guessed that the primary MX  
for xemacs.org uses grey-listening, and that yxa.extundo.com hasn't  
been white-listed, so that may explain why delivery is taking so long.
