I read this before, but it didn't seem to provide a solution.

I am sorry for not describing my exact problem. The problem is that exim
does a dns lookup for smtp1.mydomain.org and finds an internal ip
address, to which access is not allowed. Bind has been configured to
receive a zone for this domain (which connects to our network through a
vpn connection), acting as a slave. The smtp server also has an external
ip address, which exim should use instead.

I tried this some time ago, but apparently exim would still find the
internal ip as opposed to the one set in /etc/hosts. I was thinking
telling exim to use "gethostbyname()" would solve this, but I may be
wrong and it could break other things.
Thank you,
