After reading your routers/transports, I still don't understand how you think
this is meant to work. i.e. what your intended logic is. And when you say "I
don't think I should be seeing(?) logs like this", I'm not sure what you mean
by that either.

I should imagine that would have problems whenever $original_domain is not
set, or whenever the dnsdb lookup returns > 1 IP address. I'm also guessing
that "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" means whichever of your IP addresses you consider to be
your default, but you didn't state that.

So, what exactly are you trying to achieve?
