Use a domainlist router -- this is indeed described in the on-line
documentation.

For example:

internal:
  transport = remote_smtp
  driver = domainlist
  route_list = " \
    mail1.dept.bham.ac.uk mail1.dept.bham.ac.uk:mail2.dept.bham.ac.uk byname; \
    mail2.dept.bham.ac.uk mail2.dept.bham.ac.uk:mail1.dept.bham.ac.uk byname"
