sendmail from 4.10-STABLE firewall

I'm using a 4.10-STABLE based firewall, which is happily chugging along.
It's sending it's daily messages to a local account via sendmail,
which I check by logging in using an ssh connection.
I would like to have it send those mails to another mail server behind
the firewall, but I'm curious recommendations for the best way to do
that. I've looked at a couple of different ways:
1) Add the local domain DNS to it's list so it can find the IP of the
local mail server. It seems like this would decrease the security of
the firewall a bit.
2) The handbook has a section about setting up to send only using the
mail/ssmtp port. This looks like my local mailer needs to resolve
somehow (/etc/hosts??) on my firewall
3) Is there a way to convince sendmail to send to something like
foo at 10.0.0.55? I could just put that in my existing aliases file and
not have to install anything more.
4) Better options??
I appreciate recommendations you can provide or any pointers to existing
information to help me figure out the best solution.
Thanks,
Joe Kraft
