He'll never be able to show you that because the documentation says it
will do exactly what he is seeing. :)

quoting 'man setforward'

TARGETS
     When fastforward sees the incoming address [EMAIL PROTECTED], it
     tries  three  targets:  [EMAIL PROTECTED], @host.dom, and user@.
     It obeys the commands for the first target  that  it  finds.
     Target names are interpreted without regard to case.
