Off the top of my head ... you could set up a condition that examined
the priority, and if it was high, did an arbitrary DNS lookup using the
dnsdb (see 6.2) lookup method (for something on your local nameserver,
so it is cheap) and then allowed the router to proceed. It wouldn't
matter whether the lookup succeeded or failed. Something along
the lines of
condition = "${if eq{$h_priority:}{high}\
{${lookup dnsdb{some.domain}{yes}{yes}}}\
{no}}"
I haven't tried this - well, not having the kind of system you have, I
*can't* try this. :-)
