Any director or router can invoke any transport. There is no
restriction.

It happens when a router discovers that a domain which is not in
local_domains refers to the local host. This may be because it was an
abbreviation which the DNS lookup expands, or it may be because routing
ends up with an IP address which is one of those for the local host. In
the first case, the address is automatically passed to the directors. In
the second case, the "self" option controls what happens.

This looks to me to be just an aliasing operation. You could do it with
an aliasfile director.
