This may not be optimal for you -- but the new Berkeley version can
define a ".forward path".  For example:

	OJ$z/.forward.$j:$z/.forward

would first look for .forward.hostname, and if that was not found would
try .forward.  You would then put the invocation of the program in
.forward.daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov and "weisen@daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov" in
.forward.
