The answer to your question is "yes". :-))

IF you put all the virtual domains in local_domains THEN you can process
them with directors ELSE you can process them with routers. Which you do
probably depends on precisely what you want to achieve. If you simply
want to forward mail for some domains to another host, then I would
suggest you do not put them in local_domains, but simply set up a
domainlist router to do the job.
