If you set ignore_target_hosts=192.168.0.1 Exim will just ignore that A
record. It will send mail to 211.75.132.66. You can verify this for
yourself, by setting ignore_target_hosts, and then running
exim -bt xxx@???
Whenever you see "host" in the Exim documentation, what it really means
is "interface". A single host with many interfaces is treated the same
as several different hosts.
