Something like putting the director at the beginning of the list
with settings like:
foo:
transport=smtp,
driver=domainlist;
route_list = "spong.com internal.spong.com byname";
This will route all mail coming in to spong.com and send them to the
host internal.spong.com - the byname is important. You can have
byname (which just looks up the host name), bydns (which does a
DNS lookup - full MX and A processing), bydns_a (looks up A
records and fails if there are none) and bydns_mx (looks up MX
records and fails if there are none). Check the domainlist router
section of the docs.
