Have a look at mailertable option:

'mailertable' in Sendmail. This sendmail option allows you to specify 
destination servers for specific mail domains (great for acting as a 
second MX host). This is better for mail routing than 
virtusertable.  The mailertable file can be used to direct mail for 
particular domains to specific hosts. To enable this feature, set the 
following in your sendmail.mc and rebuild sendmail.cf.

FEATURE(`mailertable')

The should result in a sendmail.cf that contains a Kmailertable line 
listing the path to the mailertable file plus some ruleset code.
