That sounds exactly like out setup.  Dial(2) actually tries first
/net and then /net.alt, which is a terrible hack I did years ago
to deal with out situation.  However it continues to work for us.

I take it that you were relying on exactly the same dial(2) roll
over.  It sounds like the dial used to fail on the inside before
and then get tied on the outside.  Now it sounds like perhaps it
is succeeding on the inside but that where it succeeds to isn't
something that really won't deliver your mail.  Is there perhaps
a system on the inside that is advertising MX entries for everything?

The best thing to do is turn on debugging on smtp (in /mail/lib/remotemail)
and see what's really going on.
