How about yet another option which only deals with the obviously local
addresses (ie anything that can be immediately seen to go through a
director rather than a router). Anything that might need routing gets
queued.

Reasoning behind this is dial-on-demand ISDN and the like. With
queue_smtp set you will not do the delivery immediately, but in general
the line will be bought up for the DNS lookups.

[the real dream option would be a route/deliver if system was network
attached!]
