It could be a reasonable remark..

If I have server SMTP gateway server, how could I tell to postfix to
route one message to one of them (eg: suppose that I have 3 smtp
gateway, say IP1, IP2, IP3, then how could I tell to postfix that mail
received must be rerouted to amavisd-new on one of the machine IP1, IP2
or IP3?)?

My only fear is that a such approach could icrease drastically the DMZ
network traffic.. :-(
