Not too hard - the simplest way would probably with 2 manualroute
routers, a bit like this - I assume the 2 files just have local parts
in.
exchangeserver1:
driver = manualroute
domains = the.domain.youre.handling
local_parts = lsearch;/path/to/file1
route_data = host.name.of.server1
transport = remote_smtp
exchangeserver2:
driver = manualroute
domains = the.domain.youre.handling
local_parts = lsearch;/path/to/file2
route_data = host.name.of.server2
transport = remote_smtp
These routers go at the top of your router chain, or at least, ahead
of anything else which might 'catch' the domain in question.
Check the online docs for more smart things you can do with manualroute -
