You may be making things more complicated than you must.  I would configure a 
local smtp server that binds to the static ip.  Then create an MX record for 
that IP somewhere, and have the smtp server use the name in the MX record.  
It then should be able to talk to any server on the net freely.  It can route 
mail to TW or AOL.  Lock the SMTP server down to only route mail for your 
local network.  You may have to have it listen on a private IP and the static 
for this to work for all your hosts.
