I am not sure what you are trying to do with the 4 lines above.
However, I can say that these line do not resemble MX Records (or any
other dns rr that I know of).

MX Resource Records look like this:

; In the example.com zone file:
example.com		MX 10	mail.example.com.
example.com		MX 20 bakupmail.myispexample.com.


mail			A	10.10.120.5
