Not really a solution, more another way of looking at it...
Have you thought of setting up a caching nameserver on your gateway?
If you point exim at that (using resolv.conf), it won't ever dial up
while trying to resolve.
I currently use bind9, but if you don't need to resolve local
hostnames (and I guess you don't, since you don't have a name server
there), you might want to try pdnsd or something similar that can't do
anything by themselves aside from forward and cache requests.
