Doing it anywhere near realtime would require many qmail restarts on
both systems, which is not good for performance.
smtproutes is read by qmail-remote, and a new qmail-remote process is
spawned for each outgoing mail message anyhow. This plan shouldn't
have a significant performance impact. (Well, I suppose a very large
smtproutes file might be problematical.)
But I agree that using distributing the mail randomly across multiple
outgoing mail servers seems like a better and simpler approach.
