Try the undocumented include feature: (documented on suns ...)
(It works for Ultrix too, I'm just [right today] testing it on the NeXT)

The syntax for the aliases file:

     <alias-name>: :include:<path and file name>

In NetInfo add a new value with the syntax:

     :include:<path and file name>

where the values in <> are to be set appropriately. Then enter all the  
names/addresses, one per line, into the file specified by <path and file name>.

Sendmail will then parse the file - so you don't even need to rebuild the  
aliases when you make changes!
