Yes. Or no. Maybe I'm making things unnecessarily complicated, but let's say
that you have two customers (each with their own domain and associated IP
address), and that some of their users for some reason have .forward files
that point to two gmail addresses. If user1@??? sends mail to
user2@???, then at least I would want the server to connect to
gmail's MX from company-b's address, just like if someone from the outside
sent mail to user2@???. And if someone from the outside sends a
mail to both user1 and user2 you'd have to make Exim deliver separate copies
through separate connections from the respective interfaces. At least if you
want to maintain an illusion of two physically distinct servers.
