It's already there:

fx.com  14400 IN        MX      5 fxgrp-slip.fx.com
fx.com  14400 IN        MX      10 ames.arc.nasa.gov
fx.com  14400 IN        MX      15 cad.Berkeley.EDU

Since fx.com is a correctly-registered domain with MXs nestled nicely
in place, I'd forget about giving yourself %-ifying headaches.  Just
put fxgrp.fx.com in your Path: and From: (and possibly Message-ID:)
lines and you're on the air.
