I'm not sure if this is what you were talking about, but with the
sendmail mailertable, you can list the destination via IP address.  If
you want the mailertable to send to the specified server regardless of
it's MX record, you can put the destination address in [] brackets to
avoid MX lookups.

Of course, I may have totally misunderstood your problem, in which case
the above will not apply.
