IDA/Sendmail/phquery/alias file Configuration Problem

I'm having a problem confguring Sendmail/IDA/phquery so that entries in my
alias file are also referenced.  The machine is known to network as unl.edu,
unlmail.unl.edu, and crcnis1.unl.edu.

Mail to username@unl.edu is all routed to ph query without looking at the
alias file -- if ph contains entry, everything works fine. 

The alias file isn't searched, so if the entry for username@unl.edu is in
the alias file rather than ph, mail is returned as user unknown.

How do I configure so that both alias file and ph are searched?

Mailertable and .m4 configuration files follow:

-------mailertable--------

LOCAL!localhost		unlmail.unl.edu
LOCAL!localhost		crcnis1.unl.edu
PH!crcnis1.unl.edu	unl.edu

TCP,CRCVMS.UNL.EDU	.BITNET

---------unlmail.m4-------

# Sendmail configuration file for network-only hosts with access to
# pseudo-domain (bitnet, csnet, etc) MX records.  LIBDIR/phquery installed.
dnl # The mailertable file must have an entry for every ALTERNATEMAMES
dnl # PH!unlmail.unl.edu	unl.edu
dnl # where foo.bar.unl.edu is the name of this host.  Change UUCPNAME below.
dnl #
dnl # define(LIBDIR, /usr/local/sendmail/lib dnl ### Should be set in Makefile

define(ALIASES, /usr/lib/aliases)

include(Sendmail.mc)

Thanks for any help.
