Use your scripts to create a file that can be used for the route_file
option of the domainlist-router.

Something like this should work

aol_router:
driver = domainlist
domains = aol.com
transport = remote_smtp
route_file = /etc/exim/generated_route
search_type = lsearch
no_more

The file should look like
aol.com: the.currently.used.smarthost byname

You should upgrade! exim3 development has been stopped.
