Well, after some hunting around, this seems to work.

1) make sure you DON"T have the domain listed in sendmail.cw
2) edit the file /etc/sendmail/access 
3) add a line in form of
domainname.xxx       RELAY
4) makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access
5) probably restart sendmail

Sorry for answering my own question :)
Hope maybe this helps someone else.

Ok, as long as we are on sendmail, here is one that has bugged me for a
while.

What do I need to do to get mail sent to the secondary server while the
primary is unavailable over to the primary when it becomes available?
I have secondary working, it gets mail when primary is down, just not having
any luck finding how to get the mail off of the secondary.
