This is part of the Debian-specific configuration and should have been asked
about on the Debian-specific mailing list
(see /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.html).
The way /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/150_exim4-config_hubbed_hosts is written, it
uses an lsearch lookup, and thus uses only the first match. Your file should
look like this:
myhost.org: 11.22.33.44:22.33.44.55
as per section 20.3 of the specification
(
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/ch20.html#id2656307).
Note that there can be no whitespace around the colon between the hosts
unless you put the whole list inside quotes.
