One might instead consider using:

Which will expand to:

example.com. IN MX 0 192.0.2.0.example.com.
  		IN MX 10 192.0.2.1.example.com.
  		....
  		IN MX 90 192.0.2.9.example.com.

MX records DO NOT take IP addresses.
Sorry for embarrassing mistake.

To avoid server access and hitting roots:

host-1.example.com. IN A 192.0.2.0
...
host-10.example.com. IN A 192.0.2.9

example.com. 	IN MX 0 host-1.example.com.
...
example.com. 	IN MX 90 host-10.example.com.
