Or I might know a better way.

Again, put a simple MX at each POP.  Want a constant IP address for the
SMTP server?  Each POP's border router redirects the SMTP server's IP
address to the local machine, which only allows inbound SMTP from the
local POPs.

Nothing new here.

And then there are VPNs for roaming staff...
