Easier to do it the other way round.

If you want "some users @bigisp.net delivered locally and the rest
remotely" then the best way is *not* to make bigisp.net local. Set up
the first router to pick off the local users you want, and pass them to
the directors. The rest get treated as remote addresses and handled by
the other routers. Something along the lines of:

locals_at_bigisp.net:
driver = domainlist
domains = bigisp.net
local_users = littlefish : goldfish : seahorse : ...
route_list = * localhost byname
self = local

remote_addresses:
  driver = lookuphost
  transport = remote_smtp
