This is unnecessary.  Assign one of the machines in your organization to
be the gateway to the world; give the remaining machines a paths file
that only knows about your local machine topology; make smart-host
point to your gateway machine.  Even your smart-host machine doesn't
have to use the full map; you could just give it the d.* files from
comp.mail.maps to crunch on so it knows about domain gateways.

Then my above proposal is perfect for you.  Your internal machines
can be set up to hand everything but local mail to your smart host.
