Since you can't use wildcards in the domain part of a local alias in the
router, I think you're going to be stuck having to use a separate entry for
each domain. Kind of a bitch for maintenance if there are more than a
handful of domains. On the other hand, unless you've got an unreasonably
large number of domains that you need to do this for, it shouldn't hurt the
router's performance to have separate entries. And, no, I can't really
define 'unreasonably large,' except that it would be far more than would be
easy to keep track of manually (I've got what I think is a pretty large
router table, what with routing spammers' favorite return-paths to error
and all, and SIMS keeps on humming).
