I just did a "netmap -zl world" and got the following output:

6d6.6d6.oz.au
aecseq.co.aec.oz.au
cristal.umpx.oz.au
csisa.oz.au
ditmelb.oz.au
dmpmela.oz.au
dogmelb.dog.oz.au
gbrmpa.gbrmpa.oz.au
smtp.edu

Do all these sites intentionally claim global routing knowledge?
It so happens that cristal.umpx.oz.au is the nearest site to us with
world routing knowledge, which is inconvenient, since traffic towards
that site gets spooled on a less frequently dialled link.
Is there any way to influence this behaviour?

The whole thing arose when I noticed that an address "user@somewhere.com.au"
was spooled towards cristal.umpx.oz.au (I am not doing any special magic
in my sendmail to deal with subdomains of "au" which are not in the state
tables). Ideally, I want to spool all traffic for destinations within "au",
but with subdomains not in the state tables (such as "com.au"), for a
particular link. Any recommendations for the best way of doing this?

I guess I could change my sendmail.cf to look for "user@somewhere.com.au"
and change it to "user%somewhere.com.au@relayhost". Any problems with that?

Finally, how does a site claim global routing knowledge? Is there some
undocumented entry in the commandsfile which enables this?

						Thanks,
