In my setup I have two buildings with bonded T1's to the internet, and
metro Ethernet between them, what I would like to be able to do is if
zen sends an alert via email to the main email server, but it happens to
be down that it will send to an alternate server I specify. With routing
I can force the email over the ME and out my second pair of T1's, but
not sure if zen can do this...anyone know?

Introducing a single point of failure - the problem I'm avoiding by
using a
load-balanced setup now (except, of course, when the load balancer
fails,
which is what happened).

Let me restate the question then:

If SMTP relaying to localhost fails, how do I set a secondary SMTP relay
to
ensure my alerts go through?
