It looks like a DNS problem rather than an Exim or networking problem.
One way you might insulate yourself a bit from this... especially if you
know othermachine.domain.name is a single host with a constant IP address
would be to add a router that syphons off those addresses and uses the
IP address directly.

other:
driver = domainlist
domains = "othermachine.domain.name"
transport = remote_smtp
routelist = "* 10.10.1.2 byname"
