qmail has a configuration file called "smtproutes" where you can specify 
hard-coded IP addresses for hostnames.

For example, you might have this:

mydomain.com:192.168.1.100
somethingelse.com:192.168.1.101

When sending messages, qmail will check this file and route mail to the 
corresponding IP if it matches the hostname.  Otherwise it will do a 
standard MX lookup and route to the internet.

HTH,
