Tabor,
Thanks for the responses, the only problem is that the hosts are not located
in the same location (each is in offices located several hundred miles
apart), so I have to address each of them with their public address.
Using the "ignore_target_host" will stop email traffic between the two hosts
won't it? This too would be unacceptable.
If anyone has any other ideas, please pass them on. I have just about run
out of ideas.
By the way, I am still running Exim 3.x. Sorry, I haven't had time to
convert to 4 yet.
Thanks
Terry

You can stop this by using a manuralroute router for your local domains
(manualroute is the Exim 4 equivalent of the Exim 3 domainlist router) to
send mail for those domains directly to the internal ips.
You might also be able to make use of ignore_target_hosts on the backup MXes
for the public IPs of the backup MXes.
