none i could think of now, if you don't have anything else that you
could do your routing based on (ie. dom1.foo.bar and dom2.foo.bar are
all internal, two differnt boxes, handled by the same mail.foo.bar,
and dom1 is always box1 and dom2 is always box2. hm. could have used
better wording :).

you'd probably want to use cdb instead of dbm, for speed increases.
that depends on a bunch of things (how large your lists are, how often
do you need to modify them and the like. read up on the pros and cons
wrt different db formats.)
