You don't say what your system is, but what we do on our Suns should work
for you. We use this to deliver mail for our clients locally. It seems to
work okay.
(Editted from our sendmail.cf)
---------------------------------------------
# Mail to these nodes to be delivered locally
CWclient1 client2 client3

# Map the above nodes to this node
DWserver

S0

R$*<$*$=W.LOCAL>$*      $1<$2$W.LOCAL>$4                client.LOCAL [glh]
R$*<$*$=w.LOCAL>$*      $1<$2>$4                        thishost.LOCAL

...
(similar lines deleted.)
---------------------------------------------

Any members of the W group get mapped to the server name, which gets
resolved on the next line. In your case, CW would have test_sys, and
DW would have prod_sys.
