Default front-end (satic IP) --> zimbra (dynamic IP) possible?

Hi

I wonder if it's possible to do something like:

[main server]
ip = static
services:
- httpd
- ftp
- ...

[zimbra server]
ip = dynamic, behind router so NAT
services:
- zimbra


incomming:
main (postfix) --> *@example.org,*@example.com --> zimbra (which handles spam, mailboxes,...)

outgoing:
zimbra --> main

Is this possible? if so how does this work DNS wise?

currently I have example.org has a MX pointing to mail.example.org.
(which currently resolves to the same IP as Example Web Page)

so I want to point mail.example.org to my zimbra server at the office (via cname to my dyndns account).

Will this work? what do I need to do at the zimbra end config and dns wise?

I want the mail to be buffered on the main server incase the one in the office goes down and send once it's back.

I know I'm asking a lot here but the information i can find seems to say it's possible but it's very very confusing.

I haven't done any install yet for the zimbra server.
It will either be a chroot on my gentoo server or a domU on out main server.

So I'm open for sugestions even on which distro to use.

Thanks in advance for any help info.

some extra information:
So far i've used kerio mail server but my companies license is expiring and it's way to expensive we have around 8 active users.

I've no prior experience with zimbra or postfix.
