Set your smarthost router to be -
route_list = * [master.puroga.com] byname
byname stops dns lookups at your end for domains you send mail to.
[master.puroga.com] prevents it from being resolved further to cnames
etc. And, did you notice that ns1.puroga.com, master.puroga.com, etc
are all aliased onto the same box?
