Just a thought...

example.com esmtp:[i.p.he.re]

... Now what if I wanted some redundancy?
example.com esmtp:[i.p.he.re]
example.com esmtp:[i.p.th.ere]

First hit matches, second is ignored
example.com esmtp:[i.p.he.re] esmtp:[i.p.th.ere]

Again, first hit matches second is ignored, the docs I was sure never
mentioned this type of thing, so I re read README again and nope...

So my question is, is there a way that I've been to lazy to try since
its past beer o'clock on a friday Has anyone managed it or is this
capabilitiy plainly not built in?

Its not critical, it's just extra thoughts going into a new plan.

Not exactly what you want, but...

Instead of using an IP address, use a domain name, and leave off
the brackets:

example.com esmtp:acceptingdomain.tld

Then sendmail will look for MX record(s) for that domain to attempt
delivery, and you can specify multiple addresses in the MX records.

The format below will work for buil-in smtp mailers
(esmtp, relay, smtp, smtp8, dsmtp ):

example.com esmtp:[i.p.he.re]:[i.p.th.ere]

you're right, its not what we are looking for, we need to avoid DNS for
speed

1) Push the message in verbose mode (select it via queue-id) with
tracking map lookups:
sendmail -v -d60.5 -qIm27AnGBA029943
2) If you use hoststatus info then check destination status
sendmail -bh
[ sendmail may "remember" temporary delivery problems for a while]
3) check if you can telnet SMTP port on the destination host
(192.168.0.10) and get greeting message

I deliberately iptabled this machine off for testig purposes so telnet is
fuitile , 0.50 refused to look at 0.254 which was the second, only 0.10.
hoststatus not in use either due to other config options I've sey.
