This is how I did: (I really don't know if this is useful for you
because I am connected to the net through UUCP; I have also some UUCP
rewrite rules I don't show you! Anyhow my SMTP path is internal to my
domain, while UUCP goes outwards.)


  MX version id is: MX V3.1C

  Address-rewriting rules:
    Rewrite "<{user}@mvax1.cesi.it>" => "<""mvax1::{user}""@decvax>"

        #(MVAX1 is a DECnet (VMS) node on my LAN without MX on board)

  Domain-to-path mappings:
    Domain="decvax", Path=Local # my cluster alias
    Domain="vax6000", Path=Local # one cluster member
    Domain="vax8530", Path=Local # the other
    Domain="cesi.it", Path=Local # my domain name
    Domain="decvax.cesi.it", Path=Local # my vaxcluster alias fully qualified
                                                name
    Domain="vax6000.cesi.it", Path=Local # one vaxcluster member FQN
    Domain="vax8530.cesi.it", Path=Local # the other vaxcluster member
                                                FQN
    Domain="*.cesi.it", Path=SMTP # matches all FQN of hosts in my
        # domain not already treated by RR or previous paths
    Domain="*.UUCP", Path=UUCP
    Domain="*.*", Path=UUCP # I access all other RFC822-style names through UUCP
    Domain="*", Path=SMTP # this should catch up simple names without domain
        # qualification originated on the LAN

I hope that can help you.
